How much front end travel do you have?

 

I have over 5" of upward travel in the front.

 

Justrunit, do you have a flip-kit on the rear of your truck ? Doesn't look super low... looks like it sits like mine... I just have the Shackle extender and the Bracket up front... without flipping the axle... about 4 inches of drop

I have been wondering if flipping the Axle or keeping it in the stock location makes any difference with the Cal-Tracs

 

Thanks Bowtieoverdrive.com has several on there site and you can search for Justrunit on youtube several on there. We was picked 2007/2008 Hot Rod pump gas drags also she run 10.40 @ 128 at memphis with a 1.58 60 ft time you do the math. It went 6.40 at Hub city back in December but just run 10.3 quarter mile four runs on that bottle.

 

Your truck is awesome man. I watched a few vids of it.
I think I'll go find them leafs I took out and put them back in. Hey do you got a link or something with more pics of your truck?

 

Mine has all of them except the thick helper on the bottom, Pinion angle is everything is a truck, to make it work right. Mine is not the fastest by no means but it will get down the track most of the time without a problem. My wife drives our truck most of the time.

 

Mine is stock springs front and rear , cal tracs and ranchos on rear, and qa1 shocks on front and can spray mine right out of gate with wore out radials , I think it will hook on a dirt road lol

 

How many leaf springs do you still have in the back? I think I took all but 2 out of mine and I was wondering if that was hurting performance at all.

 

Here is a video on a 28x10.5 stiff sidewall slick and a 200 shot.

I had slapper bars could not hook truck went to track three weekends ago with wore out drag radials I have stock suspension and caltracs installed by Madman and rancho shocks best 60 ft was 1.36 worst was 1.41 watch video see what you think

 

What does your front suspension consist of? I have over 5" of travel in the front. I plan on ordering the bars in the next couple weeks.

It hooked on a 28x10.5 slick with a 200 shot right out of the hole with my old set-up. I have to delay the nitrous now and it still spins on the radials with 175hp. Best 60ft 1.55. Never got a chance to run the slicks with the current motor. Im hoping for consistent 1.4s. I eventually want to hit the 9s with i-beams/leaf springs with a bigger motor.

 

call calvert and see what they think.. when i spoke to them they felt that switching from slapper to cal tracks would not be any inprovement..

 

I have been high 9s... best ever with 75mph tail wind is 1.50 flat... BUT ... After looking threw this site i have learned alot and looking forward fixing that !!.. there are alot more adjustments with the caltraxs .. they are a very good product for the money and alot more ground clearnace ... when slapper bars... Also.. a huge mistake i made... if you have trouble hooking it on a slick there is no way in hell its going to hook on a DR....get it close on a Slick then make the switch...

 

I'm not a hardcore racer or anything. But I did go from slapper bars to caltracs and I noticed a definate improvement in the way the truck feels on the launch. I haven't had it back to the real track(our local track don't have 60ft times) with the caltracs, but I can tell you that it can take a harder launch without breaking the tires loose at our local track which is just an airstrip.

 

just did the switch on my 69 mustang , wont know if any difference until april.

 

makes me sick i dyno double what you do and your faster in .60 foots.. I run caltrax.. a solid product just takes a bit to get a handle on unless you have a board like yellow bullet to help you !!!

 

The nitrous hits alot harder out of the gate than a turbo so that isn't a fair comparison. How fast have you been?



Nobody on here has ever gone from slappers to cal-tracs? I figured this was a popular transition. Just want to make sure they will help me with what I am trying to accomplish.
