Made a few passes today...
2.18 60ft, 11.80, 122.3
Heres the break down:
I left the line at idle (to make sure it would stick), then after the car got moving, I rolled in to the power. I only got to make 3 passes, the first they lost my slip. (And Cartek wasn't even in the booth :lol: ), second one clutch slipped or didn't seem to engage properly, so I aborted the pass, third pass is above.
Overall, the car ran this very easy and I'm generally happy w/how it runs. However, the driver needs a bit more work launching hydraulic clutches. I'm guessing the car is good for low 11s/124, maybe better. Once I'm comfy launching the car, I should see better ETs and slightly better MPHS.

Nice run :cheers: Just a little more tightening of the loose nut behind the wheel :lol: and you should see low 11's. Are you still on the run flats? I saw the BFG's on your mod list, but you where talking about big worries on the launch...

Re: Made a few passes today... (kumar75150)
still have 3.42s. feels like it lugs for a few seconds on launch, then it takes off. I'll try slipping it a bit next time out and see what happens. Then, if I don't see some good 60fts, I'll feed it some gears. I can't help but think when I get this thing unwound what its really going to do.
