I know I'm looking forward to it for sure! I wish I could get the money together to do the Dana 60 swap and possible e fuel. As well as a camper! All pipe dreams as of now. Wish I could trade the plow truck for the stuff I want!

Im ready for next year already!! Should have a different set up next year that will include compound turbos and a more "built" engine. Not looking for all out power on the set up, just a quick spool with enough air for 700 with no nitrous. I did get my best time in the 1/8th so far with a 7.43@92mph, If i can keep around that time on fuel only i will be happy!
I'm trying to keep weight at or below 6500 lbs though. Wondering how much weight I would drop by going to a short bed... Anyways, I'll probably be a little light on power to hit 7's, but I'll give it a shot.. Should need to do low 12's in the 1/4, so 110-115mph.. So I'm looking at trapping around 90-95ish mph in the 1/8th. LOL Might need nitrous

I guess my goals need to be 7's in the 1/8th if I bring mine. LOL I think that will be doable if I can drop as much weight as I think I can. I think a couple OBS trucks running 7's side by side would be cool. You will have the power, I will only be around 550-600hp by then and praying the head gaskets stay in it.

He'd have to hitch a ride to get down to hitch a ride with you! LOL
And it sure would be magazine front cover worthy if two OBS were to run side by side down the track that fast!

LOL Bill you're too kind.
And I forgot to ask last post, but Matt did you have to do some sort of fancy calculations to triangulate the right length for the bars?
Ive seen all sorts of different setups is why I ask. Theres a lot of complicated equations running through my head that might apply but I dont wanna overthink it.
Its like the two guys who were asked to find the volume of a glass.
One guy pulled out a bunch of measuring tools and starting doing integrals.
The other filled it up with water and dumped it into a graduated cylinder to read the ML. lol
