Competition What should i add next?

[LanceH]

Wondering what i should do next; injectors, turbo, or nos. Right now i have 275 rv injectors, stock turbo, edge juice w/attitude, smarty, South Bend Dual Disk Clutch, and 5 inch stacks. Also have a FASS fuel system ordered and AFE Stage 2 as well. Looking to be competitive at both sled pulls and drag races this summer. Money is a little short as well. Any help and additional information would be great, Thanks.

If money is short than a simple must have is traction or ladder bars. I got a set of tough country ladder bars and they are great and were only $300

Or a turbo upgrade if money decides to find you.

I would also say to go for a turbo... then some injectors maybe mach 4's.

hey thanks for the help. i think i will do the ladder bars and look into a turbo. Which would be the best. and should i go single or twins. i was looking at twins but not sure if it would pay off because it would bump me into a different pulling class. once again thanks for the input.

I would first think of where you will spend most of your time... street or pulling? Then try to figure out what hp mark you want to hit. Most seem to aggree that about 500 hp is about the limit for a streetable 2nd gen 24v. You can run more but you will probably have issues (smoke, turbo spool, etc) Plus you will have to start doing other mods, studs etc. The more power, the biggger the turbo. . usually more lag. It is really hard to build a good puller that runs nice on the street. So basically figure out what you want and will realistically think you want to compromise with, then go from there.

There is no harshness at all. They actually smoothed out the roll I felt at offline acceletation. When you hit the go pedal there is no lost axle wrap up it just launches and does it very smoothly. I go off road a lot and it really helped with wheel hop in sand or in snow. There is no more. The only hop is on washboard roads no cure for that except a better man behind the wheel of the motorgrader. I hooked a sled 3 times this summer and they worked awesome as I saw how they worked in the videos of my pulls. Best $300 I have spent of all the mods done. I will put these on every pickup I own from here out.
