My car has slp maf, air filter, bbk throttle body, deleted cats and magna flow exhaust. I hope i can trap 110 mph and run some 12s this weekend. Just hope the clutch holds up. Lol. Going to bring a cooler full of ice and ice the intake manifold in the pits. I know the car has a 160 stat in it but the fans weren't adjust for it. If iam free that weekend maybe I will come out again. Pending on my clutch.

what clutch you get?

Good luck! What year is your car?

what clutch you get?

McLeod RST Twin Disc and McLeod flywheel (steel). Added ARP Flywheel bolts, new GM Slave cylinder and pilot bearing and a remote bleeder line. Should hold the power as the clutch is rated to "800hp", so I figure this will hold the end goal of 500/500 at the wheels. When I start to spray the motor years from now I'll have to send this in to get it upgraded to a RXT with Ceramic plates so it'll hold 1k hp as I don't think the organic material will like a nitrous spray; I'll cross that bridge when I get there.

Tick Performance.

Everything *should* be here for a August 19th evening - 20th install. I figure the girlfriend flies to Grenada that day so I need something to keep my mind off not seeing her for the next 4 months (last time).

End goal for the season is to crack a 12.5. At 2500rpm I didn't even have enough clutch to get the tires to spin. I could dump it and get them to hop (did that once, whoops), otherwise if I fed it any clutch at all they would grip and I would roll out. As my girlfriend said "you leave really slow"
:rock2:

Launching a RWD manual car is COMPLETELY different than my grip it and rip it days of AWD turbo cars.

Reviewed logs. After looking at the torque curve versus the mph plot over engine speed, I am very confident the clutch was slipping the entire time. Boost is timing advance in power graph. The line that drops down like a spoon is an exaggerated torque curve. The other is mph versus RPM, it should be linear, not jagged like it is.

:rollinglaugh:

I can't wait to see how much power it makes with the clutch in it, haha. I wouldn't be surprised if it makes 350/350.

Im happy with my Monster LT1 twin disk clutch and standard steel flywheel and it looks like its cheaper than the RST. Flywheel comes with it.
