I'm interested in the DBW setup as well. You could do some sweet traction control if you have wheel speed sensors.
That's certainly an option and I have an Elite 2500T so I could do traction control with that easy enough. If track prep is anything like last year though, I likely won't need it at Drag Week. I will be considering dialing it in though beyond drag week and I'm also interested in what I can possibly do with it if I put the dog box back in the car.
I’m in. What a build
Thanks!
Very cool!
In the past, reichen had issues with his 1g towing a trailer. Killed is converter/trans.
Granted it was a small tiny uhaul, but heavy none the less. I hope you ate planning something no larger and heavier than absolutely necessary.
In the 50's there was a pop-up camper, that bolted to the bumper on each side, and use a single large caster to support the weight and maneuverability. With almost zero drag or mpg degrease.
One other thing you have going, is the possibility of a lockup torque converter. I hope you are planning on using that feature.
Thanks for the input. I'll have to contact Reichen to get some more info from him. I'll likely be building a box on an open trailer from Lowe's like we did for my dad's car this past year (picture above) but I'm still shopping for the trailer now. I'm also adding a fairly large transmission cooler with a fan to help combat the increased temps. A similar cooler worked on my dad's car this past year with a heavier car, a trailer, a lot of hills and a way looser converter than what I'll be running. I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it and doing a lot of testing before hand.
