Isn't Dominator non detergent? Just something to keep in mind I guess

Just going to switch back to the AMO high zinc 10w-40. Easy enough.

My last run, where I had lockout (see video), but I think this was one of my better 60ft's...less of mashing on the gas. I'll check my timeslips later to confirm but thought this was my like 2.1 60 which is still awful bet I was improving.

I think clutch is gone...

Well after over 2 weeks since I was at the track, I finally got my lazy ass in gear and changed my oil tonight haha.

Car feels smoother now, some of the oil was getting a bit sludgey almost. No more dominator oil for me, I like the AMSoil AMO better.

Anyway, did some logging tonight, here is my RPM vs. Speed.

I don't know, it doesn't seem to be slipping much if at all. The car missed a bit on this run too. It was also on an entrance ramp, so slightly downhill, a long ramp so not too steep. So the load wasn't crazy. But the clutch doesn't seem too horrible.

Thoughts?

Ps. Been daily driving this for weeks now, I miss this as a daily, drives great! stop and go traffic and all. The clutch got a lot better after a week or so of daily driving. Almost 9k miles on the new motor!

Once you get the glaze of the clutch, it should be feel like it used to. The drag passes with launching and slipping the clutch transfers heat and clutch material to the pressure plate and flywheel surface. It should be for the most part be back to normal, time to turn the boost back up. ;)

Never turned it down :)

Here is the same run in VD.

Running rich as shit. Maybe blend change I guess.

Numbers are inflated some as its slightly downhill.

Also you can see on my real logs the "event" at 6k..where it was kinda missing. Not sure what's happening there.

Otherwise, no knock at all and looks good otherwise.

Had the dynoday today at MAP! Fun times, great turnout. Aside from my hangover in the morning, all was well.

My car didn't really "work" as expected as its breaking up around 6000rpms. You can hear it in the vids. I was hoping maybe it would work on the dyno but no. Going to get my gaps down to .020 or even .018 tomorrow and go for some pulls. Otherwise the car was very consistent and very little knock, few 1's, thats it.

612whp/510wtq yay! And that wasn't even a full pull. I am guessing ~620-630 if I got to rev it out on a clean pull.

Some are a little white, from running a bit lean prolly...but they look ok I guess, no expert here though.

I used this to check gap.

It's knoxvilles, but I am not sure its accurate. according to this my plugs are already at ~.020.

I am going to get some new feeler gauges tomorrow morning before i put them back in, just the thin metal deals on the ring at different sizes. Maybe those will show I need to gap them down a bit. So suggestion for closing the gap...just tap down on wood or something?
