special06shee Posted November 4, 2013 Report Share Posted November 4, 2013 What kind of truck? My camaro was in no way a drag car. It was 3400 without me in it. Horrible gearing for 1/4.. Tremic tko600 manual trans. The only thing the car did well was spin the tires. With some time and tweaking the suspension and chassis, it would of went 10.8-9's all day.

Hazzard Racing Customs Posted April 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 Still at work in progress...... The weather just broke up here by me so hoping to get to the track soon Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheelman Chassis Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 To start I'd say the most important areas to work on would be a correctly setup chassis with plenty of caster and fuel managment. You beat me to it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbo Chassis Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 Slower than you quick question ( i know this topic is old) and also about 1/4 mile... But what do your bikes typically run in the 1/8th when you run 1/4? Obviously I know your not setup for the 1/8th when your trying to go 1/4 mile but also when you do setup for the 1/8th what difference do you see bikes run in the 1/8th being setup for it versus what the clock in the 1/8th when your trying to make a 1/4 mile pass.... If any of that makes sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickedcarbine Posted January 5, 2015 Report Share Posted January 5, 2015 That's good knowledge for a Vehichle drag racing...... surprised it took so long for that to be asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any of that makes sense Believe it or not the set-ups for 1/4 & 1/8 mile really aren't that different. Typically our 1/4 mile set-up will run in the low 6's & has dipped into the 6.0's on occasion. Our main change when running 1/8 mile is using only 5th gear thru the finish line. That's to keep our rpm where we want it in the traps. During our 1/4 mile runs we are in 6th gear about a 100' before the 1/8. That's the only change gearing wise made for the 2 different distances. That change alone nets us around a .10 decrease in ET for the 1/8 mile. Now, when we travelled for head-ups racing we change a few other things to go along with the above 5th gear only deal. 1st, we change out our 1-4 manual 5 & 6 trans and put in the full 1-6 override. 2nd, we add more timing. 3rd, we sometimes lean out the motor a little. Lastly, we sometimes have to run our larger rear tires. So, what do all or some of these changes net = right around a .20 decrease in 1/8 mile ET.

SlowerThanYou Posted January 7, 2015 Report Share Posted January 7, 2015 That's good knowledge for a Vehichle drag racing...... surprised it took so long for that to be asked. I'm assuming you are referring to a typical (car) drag racing? If that's what was meant, I'll clarify the results/differences that we have seen.

Turbo Chassis Posted February 16, 2015 Report Share Posted February 16, 2015 I'm just now reading your reply.... So setup for the heads up for the 1/8th it was doing low 6's and occasional 6.0 or the .20 decrease was taken off that to put you in the 5.80s ? .... We have been messing with asphalt and I'm building a new bike personally for dirt and asphalt but havent/ won't ever run 1/4 mile so was just curious what all setup changes had to be made as I've learned a lot with the switch from 300 ft dirt to 1/8 asphalt and was guessing 1/8 to 1/4 was probable even more of a change Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
