What's everybody running for a shield on an 80e? I'm debating on doing a tci flex plate shield and blanket but I hate to run a blanket on the street.

 

Im not running anything. It's just unneeded added weight.

I do have the OEM shield though.

 

One of the tracks I run at requires it. They will probably kick me out anyway but it's worth a shot.

 

I have a TCI with a blanket. It is no problem on the street

 

They get under your truck and check that??

 

The one track will if you run faster than 7.50's in the 1/8th. It's not a bad idea anyway with the kind of power we are making in these trucks. Not to mention the weight and the stress it puts on the drivetrain.

 

In that case just get the OEM dustshield. I'm sure you can find one locally for cheap

 

Yeah, but you prolly don't make the kinda power that a Civic with VTek does.

 

silvermod-o never ran one and was pushing large amounts of hp

 

I was actually just messing with ya. I was making a reference to this vid. Thought you may have seen it. https://www.performancetrucks.net/fo...d.php?t=459356

Anyways, if you are revving high, and making power, you REALLY should have one. They are valuable safety equipment. Like wearing a helmet, or whatever. You probably will never need it, but if something went wrong, you could easily lose a foot or a leg.
