do you have a stall verter?

 

yup. i got everything a 5.3 can have. just a big ole fat truck.

 

fiberglass!!!! also gut your doors and put lexan windows! that would be a lot of work,maybe find some doors at the bone yard you could gut.

 

doors will be stripped. trust me. when he decides on a date i'll have things like this covered. i'm glad yall are here to help remind me. i just hate knowing i am gonna have to drive a stripped truck to the track. lol

 

this is how factory racing was in the begining, alum.bumpers,fenders,braces, titanium, they did it all in the name of speed. also take your stock seat out for a fiberglass one .take off your mirrors too. borrow a fiberglass hood from a bud, hell dont forget your front bumper.

 

lose the front brakes altogether and cap the lines off......get it started and remove the battery...?

 

Seems like a lot of work just to shut down some ricer ***.
I know its a pride thing, but what if you lose?!?!
You may want to check track rules before taking too much off.
I wish you luck man, I'll pray for you, and put the hex on him!!!

 

i'll take some stuff out but i won't take my brakes off. although it's nice to know those are some things you could do. he won't have his **** fixed to run. so i really aint worried about him

 

Without further driveline upgrades, is it really worth the trouble. If you two go out and run your best numbers in comparison, you'll probably need to lose about 1,100 lb to have close E.T.'s and that may make the truck unsafe as well as uncomfortable. Seems easier, or more fun to just upgrade the truck, or get a car to race a car. I think quick trucks are neat, but trying to build one to compete on the dragstrip with a car is more trouble than it's worth imo.

You could make it simple though, and tell him to race while towing a 5,000 lb load instead!

 

i just pulled some weight and will see what happens.

chances are when the real deal race goes down i might have a bigger motor. eitherway it's all in fun and yea, i aint doing nothing unsafe. it isn't worth it.
