what about:

ws= factory charger, no hanging weight, some kind of suspension travel weather it be 1" or 2"

2.8= true 2.8, no bushing, factory fuel tank mounting, must be inspected, hang weight, solid blocked suspension

SS= unlimited single, open drive line

mod= like it is now

There needs to be more speration of the classes. this year at scheid it was 30 SS trucks and 150 almost SS trucks. and 10 triple chargered tube chassis.

Not sure if i like to factory charger on work stock that would make it a duramax only class. I dont pull that class anymore but factory charger dodge has to be setup perfect to compete with a duramax with efi live.
 
Might aswell let people do what they want then. I don't like the rules so I'm gonna set my truck up for what I want and they better let me run.
Rules are rules. Your a punk and few other bad words for goin out and tryin to break them.
 
I think he means that with all these common rails melting down lately, guys are wanting to spray water to try and keep em cool. If water is allowed in the 2.8 and not in the 2.6, then of course they would want to pull in the class that allows water.
 
Make the 2.6 class go back to 2.5 and be done with it. There was a night and day difference when it made the jump. It will definately split the classes back up. I'd love to go back to those rules. Everybody wants this, wants that. We're all going to be responsible for letting this sport run itself into the ground.

While we're at it, do away with dual CP3's in the class!
 
why would you not let the 2.6 class water but let the 2.8 class run water?
 
You Cant Take Away Dual Cp3's.... If You Do That Then I Say All Truck Must Run Factory Pumps?

That makes sense.... So tell me how YOUR going to tech a p pump and determine it is a stock pump? I think you forget tech inspection can't take 30 minutes per truck. Sure you can eliminate dual cp3's. You have stage 3 pumps that are just as good. Whats the big loss on not running duals? But ya say they have to be stock, make it even harder for anyone to beat a p pumped truck.

Exactly. That would force the guys that are having melting issues to either move up to 2.8 (where they should be) or make them move down and back the truck down a bit for the street class. If you put $10,000-$20,000 in motor parts and want to risk the chance of losing a motor just to pull with street trucks. Its your choice.

Because the 2.6 class would be no bushings/covers. And the 2.8 would be bushings allowed. That class isn't comparable that way. Then these great running trucks with 3.0 chargers and stepped covers that run 2.6 can add there water injection like they want and be in the class they should be.
 
I dont know of 1 stage 3 pump that is as good as a twin setup? you can argue that all I need is a stage 3 pump, but not that a stage 3 is as good as a twin setup. I agree we have no way to tech them quickly. so maybe we leave the fuel open? I just dont like how people complain about twin cp3's like I installed them and it gained 100hp. no it just allows for more fuel if I ever need it.

NO I mean 2.6 limited... you have never been in cotpc then becasue there are a few trucks in 2.6 that hang or beat a couple 3.0 trucks around here, still dont believe me please feel free to go to cotpc and look at who won the points this year, granted it is only points but I know there isnt a chance in hell that a 2.6 truck should even compete against a 3.0 truck.

why would common rails come out like crazy for a 2.8 class?
Click to expand...

Well anyone can throw a 3 inch charger on a bone stock truck and call it a 3.0 truck. Example. Bad Duvall and 01PPUMP. 2 of the best running 2.6 tracks in the great USA. Can't run with a 3.0 with a 2.6 turbo. I've watched them try it. Yes they ran great, well duvall broke cause the driveline couldnt handle the heavy sled. But they didn't come close to competing. ISNT HAPPENING. That organization needs to re weight the sled or you have some some guys that absolutely have no business running 3.0. And if your talking points who cares. All you have to do is show up to each one and boom. You win in most cases. So to clear it up what I am meaning. If you go to Scheids, NADM, TS, blah blah. Not your local brush pull. YOU WILL NOT SEE A 2.6 TRUCK COMPETE WITH A SUPER STREET TRUCK!! PERIOD!!!

Maybe some folks can chime in on this one as I am out of my league. But a Floor It Stage III can't compete with a set of duals? How bout his Stage IV? To my understanding they are bad a$$ and can. But like I said, I don't know. Just small talk with me and John and reading on here.
 
RIGHT, i AGREE ON A TOP LEVEL NO A 3.0 TRUCK WILL DESTROY A 2.6 TRUCK. LIKE I SAID THOUGH IN CENTRAL OHIO. IF YOU SHOW UP YOU GET 10 POINTS. IF YOU WIN YOU GET 60 YOU DONT WIN BY SHOWING UP. HERE IS A EXAMPLE.
Central Ohio Truck Pull Circuit - 8000lb. Pro Stock Diesel

4 OUT OF THE TOP 8 ARE 2.6 TRUCKS, EVAN IS A 2.6 TRUCK AND WON, GAVINS TRUCK ISNT EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD CALL A BRUSH PULLING TRUCK?

I agree but i just feel like if you are gonna let one class use water you might as well let all of the classes regaurdless of turbo size. I guess im part bias tho too since i have water injection

So since one class uses tube frames and pulling tires - then all classes should be allowed to?
 
Yes, Please Feel Free To Put Pulling Tires On Your 2.6 Truck You Dont Have Enough Power To Turn Them . If Someone Wants A Tube Chassis 2.6 Truck Why Not Allow It? Does It Give You More Hp?

What does a tube chassis and pulling tires have to do with water injection? Obviously in the 2.6 and 2.8 its going to factory frame and driveline with street tires. Not really a fair comparison, water injection is just one thing i think that should be allowed in all classes.

To really have an effective turbo limit you need to limit the exducer of the comp wheel. This inducer stuff is just a bandaid. The trouble is getting the exducer teched. Most organzations have a hard enough time just plug checking a cover.$.02

Amen:clap:
 
the point of allowing/not allowing things is to have seperation between the classes.

all the classes need more seperation, not less.
