I found some good tech info there on transfer cases, and there were links to rules, classes, dates, etc.

im thinking about doing some local truck pulls next season and im looking for some tips, advice ect....... i know i need big power and torque (got that covered) and i know im gonna need a stout drivetrain (working on that) but what im looking for is more of the technical info, like what type of gears do you run with what size tires, do you pull in 4hi or 4lo? what did you weigh in at, and did you use any ballast weights ect...... is this same truck the truck you use on the trails??? are there any special modifications you do to the truck that you either add on before pulling (extra antiwrap bar etc.) what type of tire do you run? (ive seen tsl's kick some a$$ where more agressive bogger type tires dug in too deep)

I am Also looking to get into truck pulling next season. I took my pretty much stock 77 ford f-150 with a 351M and 4 speed tranny. I went into the hobby stock. closs 6200# I took 3rd place out of 7 i didnt have enough power for low range 2nd so i ran in low range 1st. very slow but plenty of power. Im already looking to put a 460 in it.... what are some easy things i can do to mod. the 460 for more power? it is out of a 79 f-150 also is a c6 going to work better for pulling or a 4 speed? i had 31" tires on when i pulled and since i havent got the power to take of in low 2nd. im just going to put 35" tires on and run in low 1st. So i will have a little more speed and a little less power.
