Competition Front Locker

[MEvins]

Guys,

Has anyone run a locker in the front end of a 4x4 for drag racing? If so what were the results (Torque steer, 60', etc. ) Also does anyone know of a good street slick(DOT Legal) and wheel for a 4x4 ctd?

Do you have enough power for a locker and slicks? :-laf

Sleddy,

The little Cedar City Diesel 24v is going through a little metamorphosus. If I'm gonna get my butt kicked, it's gonna be by TS, Garmon, No-Limit, or any of the other big boys. Bracket racing is a real drag, no pun intended. If I have enough power, will a locker in front help or hender drag racing. Also, I would like to improve my 60' times. Now I'm running 1. 61 60' and when I leave the line with more than 25# of boost I spin and loose time. Help me Sleddy!!!

All 4 locked up, it would definitely leave the line better. Not sure how it would handle high speeds.



I'm in the process of de-pullerizing my truck, when it get it back to daily driver level, I'l lock the front end up and see if I crash.



Big power drag racers are so hard to find, I don't know if anyone can answer the question from experience. I may start dragracing, less competition, LOL!

I think it would be very squirelly on the top end. Mine is at 110 without a locker.

de pullerizing your truck? What is up?

Someone took the bait. :-laf

Well I had heard rumors that he was going to go to the stock charger class next year.

i thought that it was so he could drive it during the winter. lol

35 degrees of timing, and wayy too tight governor springs does not make it ice and snow friendly!!



Stock charger class? Me?? How do these rumors get started? Sled Puller will now be hauling the exhibition Jet truck. :-laf

 

[zstroken]

What is the Jet truck? So no more Sled Pulling? If you are putting your truck back to stock I might be interested in a few of the parts that you so gently used. :-laf PM me if this is the case.

-I run toyo proxes 275-70-16. They hook great. I also still use factory limited slip in both front and rear end.
