Calling all pullers!

I want to hear from anyone who uses their truck for truck pulling. A new class is starting this year in Va and I'd like to try it out. Just wondering what kind of mod combinations anyone is running. This is a street stock class as far as chassis but motor mods are allowed. Not looking at heavy mods where I will have to change HPOP (yet) (that is a different class) Already done intake, and exhaust,, maybe looking at some injectors and water injection and or turbo. Anxious to hear!!

It really depends on the local sanctioning body.First get a rulebook and read it. Down here in South GA the sport is getting bigger. You can always tell if there is interest in area because there will be a lot of amateur classes.

yeah I already have the rules. I have been pulling a Modified Turbo Farm Tractor for a couple years - 466 cid pushing 700hp and 110lbs of boost, so pulling is not new to me. I am just wondering what anyone else on this site is using in their pickups. I would like to keep the truck streetable at first, Maybe someday I will move up to the modified turbo trucks but that involves lots of money. I've been doing lots of research and found that the best combination for me might be baby swamps and chip along with a south bend double disk clutch.. would a Luk clutch hold up to pulling i wonder. Looking for others experience, thanks for the ideas guys. I also will be staying away from accelerants as they are against the rules, however water injection is a must i think

Ryn, good luck when you get into this. I love to see the Fords do well in events against the weaker vehicles. It is just sad that we have to prove it to them that Fords are the best....why can't they just take our word for it? Ha!
