Anyone going to LV this wednesday!? again.

Good runs last night. Keep working on your times Smokin, ignore the haters.

Smokin you have the trap speed to be mid/low 12’s. Your 60ft sucks really bad. Even with streets you should be able to pull a 2.1 minimum. You are launching WAY to high at 4K. You don’t have the tire or gear setup for that on streets. I launched the vette at 2500K and pulled a 2.1 60’. I’m personally not happy with that but it is better than a 2.5!

IMO the reason you are bogging is because you are launching to HIGH not to low. If you launch at 2500K and feather the clutch before the drop, and adjust your gas pedal when necc, you should have a much better ET. If you are launching at 2500K there is no room to bogg, only to move out. Try it. If you can’t do it, I want to try.

Wayne, I have a solution for your Cobra trans. Upgrade to the twin stick trans like Pappy:

@Wayne64SS

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.

shhhhh your vette isn’t cammed. His cam eliminates the possibility of launching at a low RPM. It doesn’t have any power down there.

Hell yea, you should get another mph or two out of the tune anyway. between that and the launch you should be right there. and FYI that trap @ your weight is good for a high eleven on a slick. :thumbup

yah…this was the first time I ever tried launching it above 3k. Usually I just leave around 2500rpms but that gets me a bog too. I just need more seat time from a dig. I will figure it out sooner or later.

yah I know thats what Charles (my tuner) told me. Problem is, on slicks with stock 10 bolt and a 1.6-1.7 60’ = 10 bolt death. I need a aftermarket rear before I can do anything like that. The weak link in f-body is the 7.5" rear. Why they threw in a 350hp motor stock, a tranny that can hold 800hp and a freaken 4 cylinder S10 rear end is beyond me. The mechanics must have been drunk that day.

bean counters bro. the same reason my t-56 is FUCKING CABLE CLUTCHED. That’s it, I’m punching the first accountant i see today in the fucking face. :thumbup

@ny97sohc

4k -> 1k = nasty bog… 6-6500 launch = good idea…

bad idea…he will be ss sidewayss bigtime

@Code Blue

do they allow slicks on the wed test and tunes? it says on their website they dont… just clarifying

it says they dont but they really dont give a fuck anymore…just like the open headers i seen at least 3 cars that had open headers…

[ninety1two40]

I’m no Shady, but sounds like Smokin needs practice slipping the clutch and lower rpms :lol

[Wayne64SS]

he just needs to get a feel for slipping it, thats 100% where his problem lies. i think he’s right on with launch RPM.

that’s where that car makes all it’s power, so you want to slip the clutch and try to keep the motor in its powerband without breaking traction.

[ninety1two40]

Wayne back off, I’m bench racing here :rofl

[Mk4_30R_Ban]

@SSmokinn SS

I went 13.1 @ 116 on street tires with a 2.5 60’!..there for that makes my car on street tires quicker then your GTI on street tires.

im jw but what are your 1/8th mph’s??

you still havent beat me, go get that bottle. and 91 in the 1/8th

i cut a 2.1 on street tires. so you trap 115.x with 400+ hp in your V8, my little 1.8litre went 114 on pump gas and pulls you on the highway. what point are you trying to prove? that you suck at driving? we are well aware of that already

[psi2high]

Lol at the clown with a 125 boot not running faster then a head cam crap tuned ss

how do you trap 91 in the 1/8th?? I trapped 98 in the 1/8th 3 times last night.

you wonder why alot of people hate you on this forum. Everytime you post your a 100% cock sucking dick head then in person you want to rub everyone’s nuts.

[Mk4_30R_Ban]

i dont care about everyone on here, but apparently you care about opinions.

i duno how it trap 91, maybe because i make 300hp.

and sssmokinnn if you went 98 in the 1/8 you should be an 11.30 @ 118-120 car, learn how to drive.

No shit I need to learn how to drive what the fuck do you think im trying to do?

you wonder why I dont go to the track and run…because fucking dick heads like you give it to me after the fact…and you also give me shit if I dont go. Just do me a favor and shut the fuck up.

try harder. you dont need to be at LVD to practice clutch slippage on launch…
