It's a little easier to pull a good 60' with an auto though.

You can't heat up the tires in an AWD either.

F1 style tire blankets. :)

That is fast. I will order up a 78mm turbo and direct port nitrous kit, then I might have a chance.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Does shep have the stock tranny or is he running something else like those BullDogs or something?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

He is running a GT42, so it is probably a 74mm or the less common 76mm version.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

He has a Shepracing dogbox in it. Last year he was running a Shepracing modified stock one.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

78mm is the class limit. NDRA has more open rules for pro 4 then NHRA. So I thought the 74mm was the limit and you could only run one poweradder with methonal. Now I can try some nawz with my high boost on meth, it will be fun.

His tranny costs 3300 and you can get 300 off for a core.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Is that 3300 for the dogbox? I should find out befor I order one.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

The same one he uses. That is what I planned on ordering up anyhow. I asked how much for the race box they use in his car and that is what he replied.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

$3300 for a tranny? Holy Shit! I'd convert to RWD with a glide in it before i'd shell that out. I wonder if he uses a stock dsm rear end in it. I would assume the drive shaft is not stock neither are the 1/2 shafts?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Stock pumpkin, Driveshaft shop rear axles and 1 piece carbon driveshaft.

There are always changing the rules to try to keep the cars closer. They made Rau go down to a 78mm from an 80mm in the middle of season, to try to slow his car down.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

his transfer case is some limited run custom deal too isn't it?

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Yup, DSS modded xfer case and output shaft.

Shep runs a 4-speed dogbox, most people aren't going to be ordering that.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Man what a fun ride that would be! :eek:

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

Who said it was an auto? I've gone 1.29 sixty foots with an auto and 10 wides.

Just wait until Shep gets ALL his power to the ground. Sick.

Re: Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO
 

I should be ordering all my drivetrain in about 2 weeks, and the cage should be going in over the next 2 weeks also.

You should have kept that and said screw it to the dsm
