Pretty cool catfish. I'm no stranger to pulling myself, but we pull tractors. I'm also a good friend/neighbor to the Bunnages. They pull a multi-engine Super Modified (Takes a Lickin) with the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League (Louisville Champs 2011, 2nd in points 2010).
Is seems to me like some org. in IL or IN used to pull the 2wd and 4wd trucks in the same class, but they allow the 2wd to weigh 500lb heavier. I did a quick search, but couldn't find it.
Anyway, you might be right, but I'll have to agree to disagree
BTW- Drag that truck out and go pulling!!!

If your talking about going 2wd it won't do much compared to a 4x4 (in the class you would be in. Around here street stock diesel weight is 8200 with that 450 you wouldn't be able to add much weight to the back for traction. A modified 2wd is very different then what you would have, and second you would have no option for low range which is what most guys run because you have alot more slow gears to pick from depending on the track. Just my pair of pennies

Convenient since the 450 ZF5's are a 4x4 case. Pull the driveline brake and install t-case.

that is probably one of the most awesome sounds i have heard come from a truck. you think 150lbs is real? Ive seen cummins on the web that were disintegrated at 100. Friggin crazy and yeah i would love to see a post of what they use in one pass. Like the pro top fuel dragsters when they make a pass, they burn about 5 gallons of nitromethane in one pass. 7000 horse power all from a hemi engine weighing 496 pounds. granted it takes 900 horsepower just to run the supercharger, but you get the idea! lol.

well yeah, you didnt get the memo? our trucks doubled in price overnight hahaha. I got another offer from the guy that wants my truck(i think he just got out of an institution) lol. He offered 7500, but then got cold feet when i told him its registered in the states. I laughed and said keep looking, its mine.
