Cause I want to put a stupid steep set of gears in Pumpkin with a spool now and again, so 9" is just easier to change ratio with a second 3rd member.

Pumpkin will haul A$$ in a straight line with the ratio we have in mind.

THX to DSS support.

Today is the day were starting the DSS 9" install this afternoon after work.

Got Pumpkin in a million pieces last night just got to pull the diff and clean up then start the DSS 9" install.

Huh! Two day project were done now.

Beer time.

All DSS 9" stuff fit like a glove.

Rolling Pumpkin off the hoist for a quick road test today.

Here the pic's from the install. Only small modifications as you can see in the pic's is a wiring harness above the case moved to the top side of the cradle and the diff mounting holes had to be slightly enlarged to suit the 9/16 bolts.

One quick heat cycle on the DSS 9" today. All good for now Pumpkin into storage right next to Skitso for the winter soon.

They say I don't have enough HP to hurt a 9"..........................hopefully there right, but it's a 3800 pound stick car.

Bill's putting the new Rhino tune with the diff ratio adjustment into Pumpkin to night.

Hoping to get Pumpkin washed up an into hibernation this weekend.

Hibernation sucks but you're definitely ready for next year.

Our season has just begun.

Merc · 11-24-2014, 02:08 PM

Today was the day to move Pumpkin into hibernation for the winter, but not before a trip to the local body shop to have a door dent estimated.

Some careless SOB put a door ding in Pumpkin. Close to a thousand to repair it.

Managed to get a couple more heat cycles on DSS 9", sounds as smooth as silk.

Pumpkin all tucked in next to Skitso for the winter, just have to go back once it's dry for a quick wipe with detail spray and put on the cover.

Pumpkin's Black Friday present.
