The best way to determine it is to check the rules of the governing organization. in this case it is db drag so here is a link to their classes and equipment requirements for each class. Good luck on your season.

ya i did that it looks like street max 3-4 or 1-2 does that sound right

If you do SM 1-2 you can only have the one battery under the hood. If you do 3-4 you can add an addition battery in the back area of the vehicle. and those can only be 12 volt batts. I hope that helps.

so would super street 1-2 or 3-4 be better for me. do you think i need more batterys then that?

It really depends on what amps you're gonna be using. I'm assuming the T4000.1BD, but either way, the super street division sounds more up your alley since you are definately goning to need more than 2 batteries/800cubic inches per battery to run 4 BTL's if you go that route. Even running a pair of BTL's off a single amp would be pushing it IMO. Also, get get 2 of the biggest sized alts you can find & fit in there. Super-Street 1-2 or 3-4 sound right for you.

Thanks Steve its good to be here. I have been lurking for awhile and I finally decided to say screw it and register. Its hard to keep your post count up on about 13 diffrent forums. so I will just try to give some helpful advice here and there. Looking forward to getting to know everyone on here.

Ok back on topic as far as if youd be better of runnning street max or super street it ultimately boils down to your budget. You can definately burp your subs and amp on one battery but your gonna be hard pressed to get optimal performance out of it. The biggest thing to remeber is to do what you can afford. Super Street is an expensive class. Street Max can be, but not nearly as super street.

Just sit back and take some time to really look over the rules and think of what kind of outcome you would like to chieve while competing. Then you can make your choice from there.
