Default Fastman 68.5mm tb is in

Looks very nice, we'll see how it performs tomorrow with 2 back to back runs on the gtech pro. Ran a 15.88 and 15.89 tonight just to see if the truck was still where it was at last summer, and its right on...talk about consistant. Launching in 4 HI helps that I suppose.

Sounds good. Let us know how it does and how much you gain you get from it. Launching in 4 HI? I assume you turn it off not long after the launch. How much does that help?

yeah as soon as I'm under way I switch it back into 2wd. This was good for dropping .3 off my 1/4 mile time. Nobody launches on me when we're out racin'.

Do you really think that makes that much difference? I've never heard of anyone do 4 HI to launch with.

Just out of curiosity, did you notice a difference when you put that electric fan on? That's something I've been debating in the past, and will probably do it next year.

Well can't argue with the times, I dropped .3 using 4wd hi. lol
The fan was my best mod, I think it dropped two or three tenths.

How hard was it to install the fan... and the tb, or have you done the tb yet?
