My project truck

Hopefully I'll get to take it to the track this weekend and see how it runs out.

I took it to the track and had a few issues. Still managed a 11.3 at 121mph tho. I took it all back apart the past few months and installed a few things.
First I ditched all the factory steering and went with a manual rack and pinion.
Next I went to a manual brake setup and installed a line lock for bun outs.
I sold the 12mm pump and ordered a 13mm flowing 900cc from Ryan at R&D injection. Got a set of .093 stainless lines too.
I also sold the twins and I'm wanting to run a big single. Still haven't decided on which one..any thoughts?
 
Oh and the 'paint' is just pasti dip. I dont want to put a nice paint job on it until I have all the bugs worked out. I will more than likely paint it white when the time comes.

They were fine but I wanted to go with something more simple with less boost and drive pressure. The twins would have never come off if I drove it on the street but since it's just a drag truck I decided to try the single.
 
Nice build, Can't wait to see the results the next time you hit the strip. With the cage you're shooting for sub 10's I take it?
 
Looks great!

Any more info on the manual brakes, how hard is it to slow it down on the big end?

Also rack and pinion, How did you set that up?

Didnt end up doing the manual brakes. Just ran out of time. The rack and pinion is a kit made for a mustang ii that I made brackets to fit.

Thank you for the info and the picture.

How hard is it to steer in pits? Would you street drive it?
