The HAMB rules have strict limits on tires. They must be a bias ply street tire. So a car like that will just blow the tires off the car, if you build too much torque.
Also there has been discussion on the site, about the Fish carb. The search function is your friend.[/quote]
thankyou Charrlie_S
yea: now that i think about it *the fish dino test discussion* may have been on this this site.. i agree: Torque is useless without traction. so all money invested in the clutch is money well spent. i don`t know much about tire restrictions but i do know a larger wheel=larger contact patch but a large heavy wheel=power loss, aluminum/magnesium is lighter then rubber... so tall rims with less rubber will help, but it still comes down to the clutch/weight transfer/and traction.. a4link would be nice if allowed, however back in the 60s a guy was running a old heavy dodge sweptline PU that was blowing everything away and hooking up with his front wheels in the air. (go to dodge sweptline forum) his trick was to clamp extra feaf springs to the front half of his springs and cutting some of the leafs out of the rear so it acted like a flexible swing arm on a motorcycle. he also filled his tailgate with concrete and opend the tailgate before every run... lol .. .. what can you say?? .. it worked.. hahahah . his truck became quite famous in the 60s.. . he worked in CA as a radio DJ and traveled the drag race circlet blowing everything away in his class... he also cut a big hole in the front half of the PU bed to brake the aerodynamics suction allowing him to to brake the speed barrier pushing his truck over the top .. he took the class championship in a truck that looked like a Brick... . if you go to the ((dodge sweeptline forum)) you can read all about it . . .
