hey guys, spring is coming!!! I need to get in some mods more mods before New England Dragway opens on April 2nd. I will be doing the 2" Belltech front coils this weekend, assuming they arrive today.
I have about $500 saved up for mods, and I would like you guys' opinions on whether I should do a single blade throttle body, electic fan/cobra R water pump , or put a call in to Johnny for his traction bars and ds loop. my current mods are in my sig, and I plan on running on F1s to start, until they are worn out which shouldn't be long any opinions or comments on any of these mods are appreciated.

 

Traction bars. Don't be like all of those who have gone before you thinking they can get away with out using the bars.

 

efan and water pump
fo shizzy

 

Don't worry about speed yet.........get the DS loop and traction bars. Better to be safe than sorry.

Then go for the e-fan.

I agree with the soapster, and Easter. Get the traction bars and driveshaft loop.

Then the next mod would be the fan, waterpump combo.

Throttle body last.

 

okay, that sequence makes sense. I will probably go with the bars and loop. let me throw another variable into the equation. where would you guys put longtubes and hf cats into this mix? god only knows the bang for the buck isnt there, but I really want them to complete my exhaust...

 

I agree with Easter, Soap and Don's Bolt also...IMHO.
The longtubes,speaking, for myself, will be near my last mod I would do, probably because, as you say, it is low on the bang for the buck scale.
How about a set of slicks, or drag radials to complete your traction package.?
Just a thought.

Have a good day eh ! .................................................. .......... Dave

 

yeah, I am gonna get the Nitto 555R drag radials as soon as my F1s wear out. I've heard nothing but good things about them for street/strip traction. keep the opinions coming guys!

 

This spring I will let you try my slicks, or QTP's while at the track.
Do a run with the stock tires, and then do a run with the slicks.

Then you can decide if it is worth it.

 

thanks Don, that sounds good. do you run on F1s on the street?

 

Ya I do run F1's on the street, though this year I might need some Nittos for the street. I have no idea what the truck will drive like with the new cams, and the KB. It could be a little wild.

 

heheheheheehehe (Don's F1s when he steps on it - )

 

I agree with Easter, Soap and Don's Bolt , and Builtfordfast.

And you could coat the steering wheel with some 'Chia Pet' mix and let it grow into its own unique look. The possibilities are endless.

 

I say traction device off some type would be good to have at your level of mods.

 

LOL @ Wendy. thanks for the replies everyone, I have decided to go with JLP traction bars and driveshaft loop first, while they are still on sale
