Probably best to go with a carb. If you've never been on a steep enough angle to mess with a carb, you gotta try it sometime!

Most of my buddies run carbs, so its kind of funny to see them stall out on a hill climb haha.

I need to find more steep hills. I've only found one that could kill a truck with a carb. Lol.

Edit:
Well, there are a few more, just havn't tried them yet. I'm worried I might not be able to get up the other side.. its kind of a canyon looking thing lol.

Yeah I know, i've tried quite a bit. There's another hill I want to try, but i'll need someone up top so I can anchor my winch if I can't make it, like I said its like a canyon kind thing, i'm worried I won't get up the other side if I go down lol.

I love doing it in my F-350, but watching those hillclimb competition video's, i'd probably have a little bit of a problem doing what they do. I've seen those purpose built hill climbers get really big air climbing hills lol.

How goes the project?
