im happy but still dissapointed.

11.9’s are fast, but not for my car and its setup.

I was pretty confident I was going to have a 11.4-11.5 slip in my hand on the 150 shot. Even that was on the “slower” side of things. 11.2-11.5’s should be done on a 100 shot.

my tires are done now and they are on a back burner in my mind until I figure out a clutch situation. Im going to limp my car to the barn tomorrow and park it for weeks, or months. Who knows.

Let it sit until you can afford to get it where you want it. I’m happy to see you in the 11’s regardless.

ram powergrip HD. Its rated for 500 crank, which was almost where im at on motor.

bought the car with that clutch in it. I guess it had 4k on it when I bought it. I put 40k on it and 9 bottles. Also learned how to drive standard on it. So im not suprised.

yah I know man. I was told by his buddys right after I bought the car that he did burnouts with it everywhere and beat the snot out of it haha. Its prolly a good thing that the whole drivetrain has been replaced now, minus the trans!

Look into what petes saying… if you can get away with an upgraded disc you might save a lot of money.

I had the man pants on. I was launching at 4k. Tires were grabbing, the clutch was slipping. I think the tires were too much for the clutch to handle, and then the nitrous just finished it.

I do have drag radials on. My tires were fine. I was hooking great.

sadly, all the runs I cut 1.8-1.9 60’, I missed 2nd gear lol. I was missing gears alot yesterday. Thats not usual.

I will never have slicks on my car. Its not needed. Drag radials do more then enough to get the job done.

When I get a new clutch and tires, I plan on going back and coming out of the hole on the bottle.
