Message: [QUOTE="cbf9703, post: 1129199, member: 14560"] Just to clarify... you are talking 10s in the 1/4 on fuel, right? Most guys would think that's better than just "good" times. LOL If that's the case, you're talking big power that may not have the best street manners or be the most comfortable once you have it set up for those times... it's easier to keep it a show/dedicated drag truck. (Just my .02) You'll be adding the weight of the cage and other required safety precautions, but can cut weight gutting as much of the interior as you're comfortable for a show truck, going to a roll pan, fiberglass body, fuel cell (or at least only keeping a few gallons in the tank), etc. Once you hit a certain point, cutting weight becomes easier than adding more power. Start playing around with a hp calculator and see the difference even a couple hundred pounds can make. Yes, narrowing the rear axle (narrowing the frame is optional depending on the look you want) keeps your drag slicks in better contact with the best traction on the track, the 'groove' or 'line' where most of the cars race. Think of how much wider our trucks are then add fat slicks on top of that... not where you want to be to put the power to the ground especially with the heat that we see at most of our summer races when the track can be at 150 degrees before noon. The goal is always traction, otherwise drag racing starts hiding horsepower like sled pulling. [/QUOTE]
