I ran a 13.1 bone stock with a slipping clutch running 2.3 60’s. With a good clutch it will wake up more. I havent been to the track yet this year but when I go ill let you know and we can take a couple runs together. good advice. I must be dumping the clutch too fast cause when I try to launch, it boggs on its face… also, my Clutch is a Bitch to slip. If you try slipping it, it starts to hopp, chatter etc. Its rather annoying. The clutch was designed to grab more, the hotter it gets so when you start slipping it, it grabs harder and makes slipping harder…its hard to explain. ---

My brothers car is still on the stock clutch. It just takes some practice to see what your car likes. Every set up is different and will respond differently ---

Every set up is different and will respond differently i have never driven a stock clutch f-body…actually my car is the only standard car I have ever driven so I dont know what the stock clutch would feel like compared to my RAM powergrip HD clutch. ---

i cut a 2.1 60ft with 205 auto X tires, 85k on the stock clutch and about 130whp/120wtq and yeah adam’s got the right idea, its obviously a little different for every car/layout but the main idea is to “drop” it but not “immediately”, a little slip is usually necessary ---
