drag strip mod list:

*SPC rear camber arms to get camber back to stock nominal (presently it's too negative)
*smaller diameter and width rear wheels
*nitto drag radials or slicks

FYI, I am catching wheel like crazy on almost every launch. The couple of times that I bogged down I seemed to really bog down. There has to be a point between the two and I'm having a hard time finding it.

For the time being the stock clutch is still in there. Sharif and Booger both told me that they could see that my clutch was slipping on my dyno runs so I've already come to the conclusion that the JWT Clutch and Flywheel are my next mod. I'll probably order those later on today just to have them laying around.

I also have less 'squat' in the rear due to my car being lowered. Initially I thought that this would have helped me, but I guess it doesn't.

Thanks for the inputs.

 

neff,

cut back on the twinkies bro!! i guarantee you'll hit 12's!! lol j/k

 

with that new clutch, i bet you'll see a night and day difference...lately i've been noticing my stock clutch isnt catching like it used to, and i only have 22K on my car and dont drive it that agressively...now that you'll have a clutch to hold the power down, u still might want to slip is a bit off the line instead of dumping the clutch, unless you have money for new axles...btw, wat rpm r u launching at? and do u mean by "catching wheel like crazy" meaning that you are spinning tires or hooking up?
also, is the JWT a full race or 6 or 4 puck? be careful with the full race setup, i heard its not really that streetable and noisy as heck when disengaging the clutch. I've used the ACT 6 puck in previous cars and it hooked like crazy, and was civilized enough for the street.

 

not to be the bearer of bad news, but a lighten clutch and flywheel actually has an adverse affect on the drag strip. There was a thread discussing this that i couldn't find right away, but it basically says that the lighter rotational mass of the flywheel kills your launch and causes more wheel spin/hop than stock. Being that I've had both stock clutch and now have the JWT kit and have had them both on the drag strip, I'd have to agree.

 

Sorry about your results Randy
Drag racing is a very tricky. Light flywheels just do not work on the strip with a 3400lb car.
A flywheel is designed to absorb energy and level out the spikes in power delivered to the drive train. My guess is you would see an improvement on a road course.

 

thanks, but it was Neff that made the comments about not having luck on the drag strip. Although I'd love to get better times on the drag strip, my car was built for the road course and that's my passion. Funny you say that though...road course and all.

 

That's funny. It had to be the child seats. LOL.

 

It's Actually *** backwards. Lightened flywheels loose there inertia quickly so for road coarse/rally peeps a lightened flywheel is a no-no. For simple straight line passes it works great; you just have to adjust your launching rpm a tad bit higher to compensate, otherwise you're gonna bog big time.

 

wrong...lightening the flywheel allows rev matching better and thus is better for RR...being that I've driven my car both ways, I've proven my comment.

 

I think you've got it backwards, Homie

 

Neffster....

I'm just curious....what's your boost set at?

 

Actually everyone was right in there own way.

Purpose

The flywheel is designed to make a car drive smoothly, reduce stress on the differential in the transmission and to balance things. From the factory, flywheels have a certain mass to them, designed to prevent the RPMs from dropping too quickly, to dampen the power pulses from the engine and make life easier for the differential, and to make driving the car smoother.

When the flywheel is lightened, the engine has less mass on the crankshaft, and therefore the RPMs can climb quicker and also drop quicker. What this results in is quicker acceleration, as well as fast RPM drops during gear shifts. If the flywheel is lightened too much, driving the car can become difficult, because there just isn't enough mass in the flywheel to allow for smooth operation. On a street car, there is a limit to how much a flywheel should be lightened, due to the fact it will make launching the car very hard. It will require more rpms to launch compared to the stock flywheel. The heavier the flywheel, the faster it spins and the harder it is to slow down, so it requires less rpms to launch the car. Lastly, after the lightening is done, the flywheel has to be balanced.

How it drives?

With the new flywheel, the RPMs definitely drop quicker between shifts, and I have to either shift quickly, or rev the engine up a little bit before engaging the next gear (this is when driving slowly and moderately). When driving with enthusiasm, the RPMs drop nice and quickly during gear shifts.
