For all of you hardcore dragracers....(hillclimb and flatdrag)If you built a true drag set-up on your DS, what would it consist of?

 

Pretty much light weight everything.

What NickDS650 said, only the dollar signs never end

 

Struts & NOS!

Guys, I understand that there is a lot of money involved in going with a true drag set-up...but, Im trying to get some insight as to what parts to run and where to find these parts...thanks for your help!

 

do you have cams yet?

 

Choosetoloose04, as with any drag setup, less weight and more power is what you want. Short drags, quick response high horsepower. Long drags add torque to that. Being even more specific, No matter what bore you have, you need to fill and empty it as quick as possible. Some of up cheat fill it with nitrous or forced by turbos. If want to run naturaly aspirated, run tight compression, high lift and long duration cams. large bore carb, drag style pipe. Most everyone agrees the larger tire diameters produce better results. So go with as large tire that you can pull. Gear to the tire size and drag length. If you can save yourself a shift by using different gearing in a short race then do that, shifting takes time. On the weight part of things, one pound of rotating mass equals roughly one horse or seven pounds of dead weight, so start there. Remove what ever is not needed, and shave down what is. Hope this helps a little. Jed

 

My next ds swingarm will be titanium with jj&a alum axle. Ultra lite wheels and a 520 chain and lighter hubs are also a good start. Its like adding hp!!!!
