I was waiting all this for you to get your numbers higher so Id stay in stock but I cant wait forever lol. Dont worry my next car is gonna be setup to compete in all types of comps.Its good for you so when I go to a Drag show I can throw your car in my Jeep to help you save on gas.

once I put the new motor in next weekend you have to figure out how too catch me first to put my car in yours . I would love to do all comps but I need to focus on drag if I want that championship

So what mod class u running Chris and how is the build coming? I might be out rest of yr..

Iam planning on doing 1001-2000. I just have to wait and see what kind of equipment I can get. Still thinking about amps. It wont be done this year and I might compete for the rest of the season too. Im waiting to get my amp back from repair shop.

I went to 3 different states yesterday looking for the right vehicle.
I think I want to come back to SPL next year.

Let me rephrase that, out for a few show...

SWEET.

And because your the top dog in that class Kumar any advise you have would be great. This is all new to me. I know which amps are perfect for the stock classes but no idea about the mod.

I know where you can find a "coach" for a small fee ofcourse.

what exactly u need to know?

Amps and what else

Should I dynomat behind the dash board? How many batts should I use on a pd2000? Have you seen a diff from sitting in the car or out of it with db's? What can you do to stop or slow down windsheild flex?

I don't know about the dynamat behind the dash part. You have to work on piece at a time. I tried 1 layer on the roof and it works against me. My # was down.

What kind of batt are u planning to use? It all depends on your current draw.

The part with sitting in and out the car, I will know soon. I haven't really tested outside. I am changing my radio to work on the outside. I hope I get time to work on my vehicle..

Nothing really on the windshield part. I had to reseal mine 2 times..

Yeah I dynomated my Jeep before I had the Termlab so I dont know how much I lost. I did top to bottom front to back lol. I can do 154's so i wonder what if i hadnt. Im using the Batcap 8400's 2 per amp.

You may not have lost. Have you load tested the 8400s?

A lot of guys gain by using Dynamat or similar products, but not everyone. Like Kumar said, you gotta test. Do a piece at a time and test after you put each piece on, then you'll know if it hurt you by putting in one place over putting it in another spot. It's a very long process, but worth it in the end.

Yeah I learned my leason with that. Ill never dyno without having the termlab ready to go to test. Yes Kumar hopfully by next year Ill have 8 of those batts but Im sure Ill be ok with 4 for now. One batt for each amp. I want to use 4 of the db drive amps on 2 DD subs.

Sweet. Get ready for lots of work..HEHEHE

is the work ever done in a mod class every year everybody does something more

Im ready to get my ass handed to me next year. Its all good. Cant let your numbers and George's numbers scare me off. You guys need someone to step up to the plate and make yall turn your sh1t up. Im getting alot of good advise from George and guys from DB Drag so Im ready for the challange. Its all a money game and I'm rich "Female dog"''s!

It'll be nice to see this class actually full, nice to see someone else building a wall set up.

i hope all the classes get bigger and louder getting first in a class with noone in sucks

Sweet batt. So u running 8 batcap 8400?

I'm not really familiar with the BatCap batteries, nobody around here runs those. Anyone know how those compare to Kinetiks, cost versus performance? Curious if those are the best option for the money or not.

i know that they are a lot more money the a kinetik, but it also comes down to the person`s choice

being sponsored by Kinetik I figured he was running Kinetiks.

I've heard that they are expensive, wondering if they are that much better performance wise compared to kinetiks. Of course there's always personal preference, just wondering if there is more to it than just that.
