Default Red Rocket upgrades coming along nicely

The truck is torn down now but things are getting done
New Willwood rear four piston calipers are almost complete, we had to fab new mounting brackets to make these fit but it will be worth it.
New wheel studs front and rear have been installed (much bigger and stronger)
The new Diesel Pro's cam is soon to be installed
A new head is almost finished again thanks to Diesel Pro's!!!!!!!!!!!
I have a new front bumper on the way
The new laptop controlled NX Nitrous system is on the way as well (the industrial Injection Dragon Flows are gonna love this setup )

The truck will look very different the next time you see it

I am very much looking forward to this race season!!!!!!!!!

Not really trying to shave off anymore time. If I can keep the truck in the mid tens I will be happy. I am mostly trying to keep it safe and relyable. I was very happy running 10.6's on fuel only in a 6,000lb truck now I want to use a little nitrous to help keep temps down (I cannot believe I am actually going to run nitrous to try and keep from breaking parts ) but that is what I am doing. I was getting too hot on fuel only and the nitrous will help cool things down.
The new Diesel Pro's cam will light the chargers much quicker and help my 60ft time so I should se a little E/T improvement there. The new brakes will help keep it steady at the line during 25lb launches
Once the nitrous system is set up and tuned I hope I can spray into the low 10's when I need to for the heads up races

Dude... that cam we put in mine is just plain bad ***. Very impressive.

Good luck on the build.


Fletcher built!

REVIVE!

Tell us MORE about your nitrous setup!!

How much Nitrous are you going to be running?
We need DETAILS, Man!!
I don't play at your level, but am thinking about running a little nitrous myself to cool things off...
