lets clear this up a little bit, first run for me after talking with drew he said he was bogging bad. i gave it more rpms and a good burnout. i don’t think i should’ve touched the tire pressures. anyway, i launched at 5k not feathering the clutch very much, and it just spun. bad.
second run i had a much better feel for the clutch and car, got it out of the hole OK, launching at 4-4500 and slipping the clutch. cut a 2.3. i am confident with a few more passes i can cut 2.1s on the street tires no problem. it’s all in the clutch with his car.
what fucked that second run up for me, is i shifted out of first a little higher in the power band and when i hit second it was like ice skating. i had to get completely out of it. i really don’t think the tires like the lower pressure. i say run em where you had em next time Drew. That pass would’ve put you in the 12s, if i wasn’t banging gears like i was in a semi truck.
For the record, GM definitely has the better version of clutch / transmission for T-56s. You can shift the fuck out of that car. Mine and Daves suck balls. Due to last nights / saturdays events i now have time to further investigate.
ahhh the man has spoken
If I decide to go back up there once this year before it ends your welcome to play around with it again. Im going to try to go out to my tuner some time within the next week or two and get a re-tune…after seeing it puff black smoke between shifts and on the dyno reading 10.9 AFR’s on top end theirs alot more left in it if we lean it out. Not to mention throttle response will be better.
