    For a lot more money too. Look at the fastest guys around here, have they changed their fuel tank setup? The majority of them haven't.

    Stick to the cal-tracks, pinion angle, and shocks.

    I've got a 15GAL fuel cell where my spare tire used to be under the truck, battery is also under there tucked away. With the truck sitting on the scales made a pretty big difference percentage wise. However I havent had a chance to test anything out yet. Still have alot to do before shes ready for the street/track

    you guys in texas can have your turbos im not making a race truck .its just dd that wants to beat on street cars and trucks.got plenty of power just need i to hook and it will be great. im going with QA1 shocks . whats the pinon ag. sopossed to be? money aside nothing is cheap for these trucks.i think i want to see the results of justin inc thats what im thinking a 15 or 20 gal either in the bed where the spare tire gos let me know how it goes .to me 200 pounds under the driver seems like an overload of weight on that side no/other then the money seems like one a truck that extra 200 pound over the rear would even out insted of what 70/30 to maybe 60/40 the closer you get to 50/50 my truck starts to handle like a vette

    Ah I am just messing around. I think the fuel cell in the rear would be a great idea. I plan on doing that when I get it bagged.

    get some 18" wheels and run a 305/45-18 nitto 555r out back. set the pinion angle to -3 or -4* and run a stiff shock. i run the rancho 9000x 9 way adjustables. you can stiffen and soften them up.

    no need for caltracs unless you start getting wheel hop problems.

    if you really want some awesome street traction put on some 16" wheels and run a 28x10.5 mickey thompson et street.

    old mod list: H/C/I/N/E/G 408
    new mod list: 5.3, gears/posi, mufler and tune : (
