That is why I run 2.47 rear gears in my truckster. It will hook in a slime-covered mudslide.
jeff/21:
we went with 160", stock length powerglide coupler no driveshaft wide front end and tall rear tires (33") goes straight handles well even on no prep street races(towns allow clubs to run drags once a year) don't have a blower na sbc 406" on alky water in heads drive back to pits
good luck, have fun!
Curly1:
If you are limiting it to 150 inches or so then I would say drop the idea of a front engine dragster and go with an altered roadster. You can make a good altered really work but I think it would be difficult to make a 150 inch dragster work in the 7's. Not impossible but would be a pain. Buy or build a Spitzer type design and it would work.
dreracecar:
Altereds are/can for fat drivers (250+) if you are below , then a dragster will be fine just make sure inside the shoulder hoop is 19.5". Nothing wrong with 150" just that the front axle needs to be wider for steering control
Duster360!:
I’m not to big, 5-5 170, what’s the reason for shoulder hoop width?
