At the last race in October I broke the 9 in. center section in my D-50. That night I ran my quickest E.T. and 60 ft. so far. I run 1/8 mile and it was a 1.34 60 ft. ,6.34 @ 108 mph. I had another center section with a mini spool and 3.50 gears so I put them in for now.
How much do you think it will slow it down. I had 5.14 gears last year.
It is a Indy 360-2 headed pump gas 394 c.i. with mufflers and Drag radials. It weights 2950 lbs with me in it. I will be going to T&T tomorrow.I will let you now what it runs.

I have not put the 1050 on it yet. I have not bought a fuel pump yet. Plus I do not want to change more than one thing at a time. I wanted to see what it runs with the gear change. When I had the 360/380 HP crate motor in it I did the same gear change. It had run a best of 7.46 with the 5.14 and ran a 7.60 with the 3.50 gears. I had a 1.53 60ft. with the 5.14's and 1.67 with the 3.50 gears. So maybe it will run some 6.50's in 2nd gear.

8 in. PTC flashes 5200 - 5500 it seems to be looser with the higher gears. I was shifting at 6800 and crossing the finish line about 6800 with the 5.14's. I am not sure where to shift at tomorrow, I am sure I will go through in 2nd gear. I have another center section that is borrowed that has 4.56 gear in it. I might try in a couple of weeks. I am afraid I will break the cap in it too.

Is your 8 3/4 back braced.. also if you put load bolts
in the back, that really helps the stock caps

The 9in. is not back braced and it has a 727 in it. I am leaving now to go and see what it will do.

Just got back from T&T and the 3.50 gears did not slow it down that much. The best pass today was 1.42 60ft. 6.46 @ 107.60 crossing the finish line in 2nd gear.

Nice looking truck and darn quick too but I don't see a roll bar.  I race a truck without a bar (did't want to cut the truck) and at some of the tracks I've raced at I've gotten my warning speech  in tech line. I've only gotten the boot once, but have never been banned... yet.

It has a roll bar in it but no body at any track I run at has even looked inside it to see if it does or not. The outlaw tracks down here have never did any kind of safety check on any of my vehicles.

maybe .2 or close if that much. I had a 69RR years ago and went from a 391 all the way up to a 513 and it didn't change hardly anything
