Have about 5k miles on them. The clutch was slipping noticeably in 3rd and 4th. I am tossing my new clutch in the second week of June and will get back to the track soon after. I am sure my 19’s did not help at all either. Either way my goal was 13.5 stock and I did it on a bad 60ft. Now I am chasing a 12.99 by the end of the season.

nothing great, but shakedowns none-the-less. just trying to get a feel for the car since i haven’t beat on it in almost a year. my driving was horrible, i’ll be the first to admit that.

60’ - 1.80 (wow)  
330 - 4.653  
1/8 - 6.967 @ 108.26  
1000 - 8.948  
1/4 - 10.589 @ 135.33 (highest of the day was 137.99)

all these runs were on the wastegate (11psi) and full street trim (sub and amp in back, street wheels etc). trying to find the sweet spot on the 2-step, unfortunately my line lock wasn’t working for many of my runs, so those trials go out the window. have some issues i need to address for sure, but i’m excited to see what i can do with this thing. i’m at the shop right now and already fixed my pinion angle which was at a +1 and should be -3 :banghead: need to address some suspension issues, and i’m looking to get these drag wheels.

car definitely has 9’s in it on the wastegate, and i plan to get there first before i turn up the boost, say…2-300whp 🙂 all-in-all, i knew my first outing wasn’t going to be pretty, so i’m happy with what i got so far. track inspection was pretty strict, i’m not aloud back without my 5th pt added to my harness which is NBD, a fire jacket, and a tranny blanket.

oh yea, at the tree, i definitely set off 3 car alarms with the 2-step, hahahahaha. jt76 has some videos coming, and i guess it looks pretty retarded, lol

That is a GREAT first showing man! Great job!

So after ordering a million clutch parts and having them all ready to install my OLD clutch was grabbing amazing today. I was beating on it for a solid hour long cruise. I am so confused right now.

I dont know what this is?

Edit quick search says I do not have one.

I even mashed some shifts under full throttle to try to make it slip on the way home and it grabbed.

i think it’s going to take more than just getting this pinion angle set to do 1.4’s, lol. although that would be nice! i think im going to make a detachable solid rear sway, and ditch some unneeded weight for next time. some quick research tells me my front wheels weigh a combined ~120lbs!!!. i don’t want to drop the money right now for drag wheels, but im actually thinking about buying fronts. that should free up about 80lbs in the front.

Pretty lack luster night for me at lancaster.

First pass of the season 7.64 @ 101.99  
Second run 7.39 @ 102.23  
Last/Best run 7.32 @ 101.37 with a 1.66 60ft

Then i sheared the key way out of my crank pully and had to drive home with no alt LOL fun fucking ride that was.

Edit: found the slip with my best time 7.22 @ 103.25 with a 1.75 60ft

Adjustable TQ Arm was 1 of my best mods. U have more power than u can hook, screw the weight savings. If u still have the front sway bar on, when u get to the track, disconnect the end links, this will let the front end come up to transfer weight. If u have the QA1 adjustable front struts, set @ 90/10 or close to it. U have enough tire, & w/the 2 step slow’in the application of power, mid 1.4s will be easy:)
