Default building a pulling truck

Kinda off topic but I thought this would be a good spot for it. I'm in the process of getting my truck to the point of pulling 6500 and 7000 lb street mod

This summer. Looking for suggestions for a name to put on my weight box and going to get some decals made for the sides of the truck.

Here's my setup
-carb 408 stroker motor, 10.5 comp, iron ram heads
-NV4500 with a centerforce dual friction clutch, 241 dld case (til I grenade it)
-dana 60/80 with 4.56 gears, Yukon locker in the rear and a spool up front.
-set of ladder bars, driveshaft loops and suspension stops are next.

Any other suggestions are appreciated.

How crazy can you go with the engine in those classes? Looking forward to seeing this! Do you come up to Iowa for pulls?

I probly won't be coming up there for any this year. This will be my first year actually pulling. So I'm just gonna stay fairly local and figure it all out and see what changes I need to make before I start traveling.

As far as classes, street mod has to have iron heads and a single carb, no dominators. Those are just about the only limitations as far as the motor goes

Edelbrock RPM AirGap would do ya some good I think and if you haven't purchased heads yet might look at EQs and compare to the IronRams I'm not quite sure how they compare
