It is during this long cold offseason that most of us contemplate a new round of mods for our trucks. I am curious what everyone has up their sleeves.
My plans are fairly simple this time. I will install a TrueTrac to eliminate my "one wheel peel" issues. These started when I went to the ultra sticky 15inch Hoosier radial slicks. This is unfortunate, as I really want to convert to a 9" rear in the future. Did not want to drop money on this, but it is required now to run next season.
On the performance side I will be adding an "on demand" second stage of nitrous for street use, and to make up ground bracket racing. In addition to this I will have a custom fuel tank done which will allow me to run about 4 gallons of fuel instead of 10 gallons at the track. It will allow me to carry less C16 fuel to the track, and be a substantial weight savings. It will hold 11 gallons, and retain the stock style hat and all guage functions. It will limit my range a bit, but not so much of an issue. I should still get close to 150 miles on a tankfull.
When my truck sees the track next year I will be spraying a bigger shot on a stronger tune. I feel I have learned enough about my combo to try to extract a bit more. My goal for 2008 is to get into the 9s on my Magnum Powers Blower. Once accomplished I think I will move on to a larger power adder.
What is everyone else doing?
