My pulls for the year are all wrapped up, all said and done I think I did pretty good with a bone stock 17, that said my motor definitely needs a rebuild. Ended up getting the green light to build it as I want/can afford. I've been on a few different forums and have some ideas but I'd like to hear what builds everyone else has done and what HP was got. I'll be building for heavy weight, 7k and above, I believe up to 18k, dead sled, clay track. I'll be pulling transfer as well but I care more about the dead sled.

A few people have mentioned that d17s are no good for classes above 7000 pounds, while I won't say that they are all wrong, my family and I have had vastly different results. Every year two of my cousins pull d17s in the 9000 and unlimited classes and do very well, last month my brother even out pulled both of them on a d17 diesel weighting in at 16820. More farmall 400s and 450s get winched onto trailers and Allis's. (5 farmall, 0 allis). I can see about providing pictures and videos if anyone is skeptical.
