Best thing I did was add "bull horns" you wouldn't believe how clean the car stays!

Seems to be the new trend in dragster headers. The collector directs the exhaust upward rather than straight at the tire. Check out Scott's build article for pics.

Also keeps the dust from flying up when starting in a dirty pit spot!

Pretty excited to see our new Titan Shifters going on a lot of new builds. So far they're on American, Diamond, M&M, Ezell, Ultratech, Nexgen and Folk built Dragsters along with Bob's Pro-Fab and a bunch of other door cars.

That is a nice feature. My roadster has under chassis headers and dust/grass sucks when you start up on it.

I never thought about how handy that would be!

Pull out bars maybe? I have never had them
I would put rollers mid chassis to prevent high centering
I’d pay attention also on how their body panels are. The S&w we bought had body panels that would interlock on the bottom lip. Kinda nice.
Some are offering one piece bodies that could have advantages.

I’d consider a belly pan for the trans area.

My newest car has all listed above. The turn up headers do in fact keep the car cleaner. The rollers under car are awesome! The belly pan under trans and motor I like alot as well. Still waiting on my ISP pads but tabs are ready for their arrival. Telescope steering shaft is super cool! Clear coated carbon and left it, LOVE it!

Good Morning Chris, Whats your opinion on the fuel tech dash and switch panel now that you've run it for awhile? Heard through the grapevine someone with this system in a new car was considering replacing it!

The Fueltech dash is awesome IMO easy to navigate, easy to see for old guys, and is smaller then compared dashes.

Still learning the rest and have not give up on it as of yet.
