Local 500fter coming up this Sunday. Might be a mud bath (we'll see). I go every year but am always working in the pits helping out others and BSing.
I've never dragged my 4 so this is new ground for me.
Stock 92 with Bender Twins an stinger.
Talked with Tony on what I have for go faster stuff and think I'm good to go. Will get it all installed and rip up the yard to see where I'm at. Should be close.
Here's what I have.
8BW stator, 8BU cdi, 133.8 mains, notched 89A-10's steel inner aluminum outer, silver/blue spring (two red and one white marks)??, the secondary that was run with it (need to open it up and see where it's at) and 20-39 gears. Also have a set of 89A-10's with aluminum in both holes and no notch. Need to play with this.
The question I have and did not talk to God on is this.
Class.
If I leave the stock track in (192 trail studs, Decent condition) and leave the ride height stock I can run trail stock class. Would be running against 700's, 800's and 4 strokes.
I also have a Camoplast speed track with 240 Roetin angle chisels and a set of lowering tubes I could slip in there but would then have to run what this club calls "stock". Same sleds to run against but pipes, air box mods or delete, lowering, etc are allowed. Internals are to remain stock but I'm sure there are those that won't be.
Wondering which way to go. Stock height, track and trail studs or lowered and speed/chisel track?
Also when lowering for drags what do you guys recommend in the skid?
Pull it down with the limiters and play soft vs hard in the rear for track condition or keep the rear hard and adjust the front limiter to tame the track? or?????
This is a new game for me. I understand all the principals but only have a week to get ready and have a ton of other stuff to do besides sleds.
I'd really like to try the speed track but would be limited to two classes. 800 stock and open stock. With the trail track I could do 4.
What ya's tink???
