Which do you prefer for a drag hillshoot motor and why? Just trying to figure which is best for me. I hillshoot most the time but do about 25% flat drags, which is a better set up?

I got a trade offer for a 431 drag puma, but if I'm going to stay drag seems like I might as well stay with the saber. It seems like most do the pumas now though so I thought I try to get some opinions on which is better.

That's what I want to do but from the research I've done the sabers run really hot unless running alcohol.

what kind of chassis is the saber going on?

Mickkey82984 · « **Reply #6 on:** October 01, 2014, 06:14:21 PM »

Stock 86 frame with everything unneeded cut off. Shaws all the way around, plus 8 swingarm. It's only going to run on big weekend up here at the cinders, we have no drags events anywhere around Arizona.

Another thing to think about would be that you wont find yourself ever needing anything from the current advertised main saber source. IF getting what you might ever need from elsewhere became a problem due to others not wanting to deal with them. Also in a little way not at all advertising for them or unintentionally helping sales. This is just a minor piece of the decision and maybe nothing but it is how my twisted up mind works weighing all factors involved.

Saber parts can be bought through several people unlike what is being said.

Did you call Nate? He has some very good knowledge about the Sabers. He will point you toward the Puma. Also who has this Puma and who was it built by may help you make a decision.

I did not get a chance to call him yesterday, i should have time today when i get off work. Its seanoktm's puma on here, he bought it from derby from . net some years back. I'm pretty sure JDI does most his work. Its a great looking motor and has ran some good times from what I've seen.
