The drag truck is getting put away for another winters rest. Super Duty's job of pulling it has ended for this year. Now it just has to get me through snow for the next 5-6 months. Couple pics of last race. Was having issues with to much motor and to much traction. Drug rear bumper on second pass of day. Wheelie bars and wing for next year. New intake from the land down under arrived and dyno time should be soon. Hoping for close to 950hp out of 436 clever.

That is a lot of power for a 436. I am sure you have used all of the tricks and a few I have never heard of. I am no drag race master. Nice looking race truck!

Nice launch, do you have a 4 link in the rear? Lifting the wheels like that look cool, when I was drag racing a mustang years ago I felt some wheel lift was good but carring too much was not. But man that looks like fun, and brings back alot of memories.

Has a 4 link. We changed it between runs but didn't seem to help. Also took 7 degrees timing out for 1 second to lower power on launch and raised two step rev limiter to within 400 rpms of stall converter to try and make it not hit tires so hard but still wheelied. Did make for a cool photo shoot tho.
