Uhh... Sleddy you gettin seanial in your old age?



Full pull... then pull off. The Cummins truck did just as good the second time around, when the Duramaxes dropped 30feet.



I'm not trying to stur the pot, but would that be the difference between Comp's rev gain type of engine and the Torque that the Cummins lays down?



Good job Tomac! You've got that truck dialed in! I didn't get a chance to meet you at IRP, but enjoyed watching your truck.

It's called the "Hero Gear" :-laf :-laf :-laf

 

[smokinrod]

That truck is awsome in HERO gear

 

[Sled Puller]

Yes, I knew what the measurements were , I wanted to hear Tomacs explanation on why they were so close in the pull off, and so farrrr apart in the first hook.

Ahh that makes more sense!



That's the beauty of an auto... realize you need more gear, you just let it go up one! :-laf

all right I will go there :-{} he forgot to change out bottles before the first hook :--) SORRY mike I just couldn't resist :-laf



serously if they want to stop you with that sled ,WOW can they I swore I was at IRP again with a big heavy boat.

 

[Sled Puller]

Why, I didn't even think about a bottle!!



I just find it amusing, that when the sled was set too light, the Chevys screamed with it, but when they tightened it up, they started to choke.



If the track was 400 feet, they may be unbeatable.

Weight and V8's dont mix.
