he had a 8 or 10 hp swapped into it, belt driven with big boy primary and secondary clutches. not a powder masher by any means but it sure looked cool....:d

Are you going to drop and roll it? Because that and monster stickers are the only mods that will make your sled climb.

A 121" 440 with a D&R and low ride height will kill any turbo sled out there.

I also have a wheelbarrow that goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds.

Big fawkin' deal. Reid Hedlund and many many many many other riders on the BCSF circuit were "handbuilding" their tube chassis' (bulkhead, tunnel, suspension, etc) hillclimbers as long as 15 yrs ago. I can show u some pics so old that I only have them on hardcopy because that was before digital cameras came out.

Did you hand build your track? How about your gas tank? handlebars? hood? seat? trailing arms? bumpers? these were all things the guys used to "hand build", your sled is more of a stocker than some that were built 15 yrs ago....

Pull your head out of your ass and give it a shake.

I took some pics of my attack angle, I'd load them for you tonight on the other thread.

Yea, there was some nice looking tube frame sleds, with plexiglass so you could see the tube frame.
Some of there really rocked

 

[SHREK1]

so what iif you have a "handbuilt" sled thats not as good as a stocker.

what is it then?

if a handbuilt has the best of the best

Then you obviously chose either the wrong sled or the wrong builder

 

[4x4racing]

who cares if a sled is hand build , they where all built by somones hands,lets all just go riding

The other guy is Pete and the boys know their Chit. If you ever have a problem in Revy these are the guys to go see.:d

Stockers always need a substantial amount of tuning from new.

you smoking the crack pipe at 420 am again never ever had to tune my stockers in

 

[Longhairfreak]

Your kidding right?

 

[Rucky]

Your kidding right?

I'm assuming you mean that you can modify the clutching and suspension components to perform BETTER. However, a stock sled will RUN from the factory just fine. Of course there's always room for improvement... Otherwise the aftermarket companies would be non-existent.
