Re: My 1st truck pull

OK here's my tips to you:

- 30 lbs rear tires
- 12 to 15 lbs front tires
- block the rear suspension, however you like.
- Move as much weight forward as possible!!!!
- Gear it to hit the limits of your engines bottom end
- Don't dump the clutch...ease it out to limit the Bounce factor
- Tires won't matter until you have the power to make it a factor (600+)

If you get the bug to move up a class, then you will see that no matter what the pulling sites say......set-up IS important, but POWER and TRACTION is what wins!!!!
