GLHS has a 5 speed truck that runs 13's----- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sbd26...eature=channel

And hes running a Getrag and a custom Single disc clutch. see his sig.

Someone once told me the best way to drag race a 5spd cummins is to launch in 3rd and get to 5th as soon as possible and use the torque.

For drag racing maybe Southbend could custom make you something if you want a all around beater clutch. I wonder if a 3250 # DD would be aight?

"pwrtripls" bought a 3250 DD clutch for his 92 i believe, havent seen him in forever. He was huntin for 12's inthe 1/4 with a 5speed truck

If you could start in 3rd it sure would help drag times. That 2nd to 3rd shift is not easy to hurry.
