Default Back from the track cam only c5z

Wanting some opinions on my slip breakdown. I'm having clutch problems, the car makes around 450 wheel and I'm still on the stock clutch. Ran 11.34 tonite with a 1.65 60 foot. Here's the slip where the car went 11.50s with a 1.57 60. These cars are a lot of fun when launched properly. I'm on a 275/40/17 hoosier drag radial at 15 psi hot coming out at 4k with very light slip. Stock suspension. I had to granny shift the car dealing with my clutch issues but overall it's coming along. It was 84 degrees and humid unsure of da. The cars trapped as high as 124. This is my second time to the track with my setup.

I'm hoping I can knock down a 1.4x 60 with good clutch and 3.90s which are next on my to do list. That and some good air the car should go 10.90s

I'd say that's a damn good ET considering the clutch issues.... Better then most would get.. I think the 119 MPH is a tad low for 450rwhp though unless the DA was pretty bad or the clutch was causing it...

You can go 10.90 with 119 mph but your gonna need a 1.40 60' to get there...

Little update, car went 11.2@123 with a worse 60' at 1.65, similar low air quality, da was between 2300-2700. The rps clutch should be in the car middle of next week. Going to run true street the 21st. Hopefully I can get my 60s where they need to be and focus on shifting the car better. I used a more laid back shifting method this time out, I'll be more aggressive once I get my 60s in the 1.4s and get my clutch issues resolved. Overall pretty happy for a cam only car in bad air, bad 60s. Shooting for high .80s low .90s before a gear change. May throw some qa1's on it.
