Drag Racing
I've decided to get into this a little and found out what class I will fit into, but I'd like to get some things figured out. I'm running a healthy 355 in a 3/4ton long box.
-Weight How much does your pickup weigh? I tipped the scales at 4350lbs with me in it. -Cam I've narrowed down my choices to two and want input. Comp cams 275DEH or the XE274H. I have heads that will take more than this, but I'd still like to be able to drive it on the streets. -Torque converter I was looking at a 2500 stall for either one, but want to know if it might be a little low. What are the effects of having to high of a stall? -Tires What would be a good set of tires to put on that are decent on the street and strip? -The final question is Nitrous Would you do it or not? I was considering a 100 or 150 shot if I do it. Thats all for now and thanks for your input in advance. Thomas Last edited by sav300; 04-20-2010 at 09:26 PM. |

Re: Drag Racing
I was consider going with a hydraulic roller. Alot of flat tappet cams have been going bad lately due to not enough ZDDP in oils. JMO.
