needing some advice
i have a dodge ram 1500 and im trying to get it ready for truck pulls, i have three months to get her ready. is there any advice on what i should do to increase my torque power and still stay with in regulations?
Moved to the correct section, also, without knowing what class you will be running in, have no idea what the regulations might be, What is your budget? Are you going full out modified pulling only truck or what?
Rules. For anyone interested.
The only stipulations they have is the motor had to have come in the truck from the factory...... They mention nothing about modifications. They actually do specifically mention headers are allowed, but, you still need the full exhaust system.....
So, first things first. Make sure the engine is currently running properly. All maintenance caught up, plenum fixed, timing chain replaced. THEN you can start in on the mods....
For a pulling truck, I would do:
Long tube headers, full dual exhaust, 2.5 inch pipe. (with X or H pipe.)
1.7 Ratio Harland sharp roller rockers.
Kegger mod, or, M1 2bbl intake.
Get rid of the death flash. (tuner. Flyin' Ryan, or Hemifever.)
Better heads. EQ Monster Magnums would be good here. Given that you are going for power in the upper RPM range, I would be tempted to go with the 2.02 intake valves as well. (and this would REALLY play nice with the M1 intake.....)
Really, how berserk do you want to get?
