Competition To Block Or Not To Block

[Spurge]

Going truck pulling tomorow, I have rear end blocks made and used them in my last (1st) pull and have been wandering if I should really use them or not. I know guys use it for leverage, but might underpower your truck. I estimate my truck at about 400hp.

Another question is what gear should I run... 2nd or 3rd 4Lo

Oh yeah, used 4th 4Lo last time... ... . not good with factory clutch.

If the blocks are causing you to lose wheel speed then I say lose the blocks until you go up in power.

Or you could choose to run a different gear and keep the blocks.

you are probably under 400 hp, unless u have something else thats not in you sig. second 3rd gear 4 lo, and last i you are going to make pulling a habit, since you have already made a hook and are making another one soon, iwould upgrade your clutch to a double disk clutch. good luck.



oh yeah, if they allow it, block it
