+1 And take the tailgate and spare tire off.

 

Exactly! I was actually going to suggest taking the whole dang box off but thought that might be pushing it alittle bit!! ha

 

Leaning back will add more weight to the back wheels for a better launch.
Empty out your center console, and all the change that fell out of the coin holders, asl well as all those unpaid speeding tickets in the glovebox.
Also heard running a qt low helps too, but nothing i'd recommend.

 

so when you guys racing im curious?? my cousins and i all have 2nd gen rams and we all race eachother to see who wins, its soooo fun.

 

we are racing maybe about march? whenever the first day the track is open. lol we were all just talking about getting rid of all the unneeded weight. me i plan on maybe taking out my sub woofer thats pretty heavy the tailgate and bed cover also putting on my stock tires. but the air filter i didnt think about ofcourse well have all of our friends out there videotaping and well be sure to have it on the computer as soon as it happens

 

I don't know about taking any weight off the rear of the truck.
Want your weight over those rear tires to help not spin off the line.
Lower your air pressure to about 20psi in the back. And, max-out
the pressure in the fronts. Smoke the hell out of the rears before
getting to the line,.. Want your tires nice and hot & sticky as possible.
Go one quart low on oil also for the race like said before. (I know this
nets me a constant tenth at the track in my Mustang). DON"T let the truck
go into 4th gear either! It will kill your ET.

 

Drop your step bars.

 

march!!! you have some time so

cam, roller rockers, new plenum, transgo kit, fastman tb.... and then your ready.lol

no but really you need to make sure everythings in good shape... like the plenum(if bad) it will kill your bottom end.

 

thanks but we arent trying to strip the trucks of all there weight ha. but maybe taking off a few things but not everything. we want it to be somewhat fair to each other.

If he is running a regular tire it makes no sense to go through the water box. the water get inbetween the treads and stays in the grouves until the tires sits still. Therefore letting all the water run down to the pavement, therefore reducing traction. I know from experience we have a 01 Trans Am with street tires, stay out of the water box.
