Considering going to pulling

Hey guys I've always been a drag racer, and my old 99 was on its way to being a 11 sec go anywhere do anything daily driven dragster. All I needed was head work and Mach 7's on top of my B1/B2.

Anyways I decided to stay away from going fast since my accident, so much so that I bought a 03 6 speed knowing full well that its a terrible platform for drag racing, since I dont have self control.

Would it be a stupid move to get into slead pulling with my 03HO? I live in CA so there arnt that many pulls around here, and I dont want to get my azz handed to me by other trucks like 12V and D-max's at the pulls. I dont want to spend 15K on bombs to make my truck pull well. I still want it to be streetable.

Possible pulling bombs
Smarty
TST
Silverbullet
DD clutch

If better fueling system a MUST for HPRC slead pullers.
