O
k all you rat rodders, they call me
Crab and not the doctor kind. For
you rat rodders doing freestyle
burnout shows or just burning out, this
what I learned.
Run a tough transmission. I like a CRAB WHO?
manual shift body. 3000 stall.
Less horsepower, keep the rear gear
around a 411 posi. More horsepower,
keep the rear end around 350/325
gear!!!
If you feel it, make sure you have a
break valve to shut off the rear brakes.
If not it will destroy the rear end an
trans !!! yeap!!!
Run a road tire same size!!!!! Yes
you can drive down the road. Just
remember it will tire squeal when you
turn and its sounds cool!!!
A heavy car may be a little harder
to turn but with a little help from the
engine .....you will do just fi ne!!! all I can
say is, till next time!!!
Light the fi res an kick the tires!!!! WRITTEN BY DENNIS LANDRY
crabwho!!! yesindeed!!!
