went to the track, cut a 14.4 then a 14.3 both at 94 mpg in 4wd...
so, how does one go about lowing the front end down?

I'f you ad a spoiler to the front you should increase your speed.I read an article that stated if you increase the front spoiler one inch you increase your drag efficiency by 10 or 20%. the less air hitting the bottom of the truck the smoother it will go down the track.

The best bet is to crank down the torsion bars.

Were you running the predator/juice stack? I think you will have a hard time hitting 13's with that combo.

Just lower your torsion bars all the way down. You shouldn't have to turn much anyway, right?:cool2:

Really though, I don't know what size tires you run, but you should be able to back the bars down a bunch. This will help a tremendous amount with transfer.

Sell the Predator and Edge and add the PPE and/or VA.

Or maybe stack the Edge w/ PPE (you could ask Ben-Duratothemax-about how they stack, I think that's what he run)

With your trans, you should be able to hit 13.1X-13.2X without drugs. You might what to read McRat's Sig too, if you haven't already!
