Is it me or should you have started with a locker and 4.10s before your other mods? Seems like that's the conventional racing wisdom...otherwise, nice ETs for truck weighing almost 5,000 pounds! I miss my RCSB so much when I'm on this thread...

Yeah but I literally decided to keep the truck 2 weeks ago. I've been trying to push myself to get a power wagon for the last 3 years haha
4.10s are way too much gear for 8spd trucks and running a shorter drag radial. The popular gear for drag racing seems to be 3.55, but compared to a 3.21 it doesn't seem like a worthwhile difference for the additional cost. I'm planning to eventually toss a Magnuson blower on it. My guess is all that low end torque and short gearing will be a handful if I step to 3.55-3.92.
I remember a nitrous guy from when I was always on the forums. Mentioned that the 3.92 gear change was awesome off the bottle, but on the bottle was slower from a roll vs his buddy with a mustang. But prior to the gear change he was on a 3.21 and would consistently pull the same mustang. Can't remember if he was on a short drag radial or not.
Hopefully I get my order in today. I made some adjustments to my cart to include the relocation brackets. Here is what I'm looking at, hopefully a few other RCSB drag guys will chime in.
- Mopar LSD
- Inez relocation brackets, no cut
- Core 4x4 adjustable lowers
- Viking double adjustable, rears
Trying to be as budgeted as possible but solve a majority of the rear end issues all at once.
