DRAG AXLE

[stroking]

HAS anyone ever done a test to see if a drag axle really lowers your E.T Times ?

 

had one guy tell me he went from 7.20's to 6.90's when he which but i find that hard to believe!

 

anyone ?

I'll believe it. A drag axle is a considerable amount of less weight.

 

The least amount of centrifugal mass that you can have, the faster you will go.

 

Now I don't know if he really did lose that much time off his E.T., but I know you will lose some.

I guess anything is possible, I know you won't see 3 tenths in 300 foot, but pavement....never know.

It is a lot less rotating mass.

 

With any drag axle, you're also getting more adjustability for rear width.

You want the rear tires sucked under neath you for traction.

 

The trade off is stability....

I dont know for sure but I guess its possible. I talked myself into getting a drag axle and I'm glad I did. That thing is super light compared to the stock axle.

[KaosBanshee44]

That is definitely the next thing on my list to get.

I got a JJ&A gun drilled drag axle and it did help trim a little from my et's in 500ft dirt.As mentioned they are considerably lighter and allow for more adjustment of the rearend width.

i have seen somewhere on this site before that somebody got 1 or 2 more ponies out of a drag axle over the stock one on a dyno because of less rotating mass

if u have a "drag " bike... then id save up and get a axle. i run a lonestar axle

[Blewbyu]

I bought one cause its easier to load in the back of the truck

also remember u 'll need a 40mm carrier. or u might have to change the bearings and seals in a 35mm carrier to a 40mm for the drag axle

what about a override.......think that will trim down the down 2tenths?

I would get an override first, it is a must have if you drag race.

the best investment I made

x2.

 

A new jj&a drag axle would be near the bottom of my list of things to do.... Only after you already had porting, override, lockup, etc. If you're maxxed out on mods to your current setup, and have the funds then I'd say go for it.

 

I run them on all of mine.
