11.0 at 129....
well guys, still a slipping clutch, i made three runs, time slips posted. i have some pics i will throw up tomorrow.
first two runs, the 11.0 at 127 and the 11.1 at 125 were both at 17 psi, the car pulls hard until 4th gear, then the top of 4th starts slipping and 5th gear just slips all the way to the rev limiter
the second run was identical to the first run, i mean, look at the slips, its crazy BUT i ran 2.5 mph less cause the clutch was fried on the second run..
sooo i decided to turn the boost down to around 15.8 psi WOW fourth gear held all the way through and the top end pulled like crazy. i hit 129 mph, very happy with that. i actually held 4th gear all the way out. i figure that when its slipping at higher psi, i short shift not knowing cause i shift at the rev limiter. so when it wasnt slipping, actually pulled all the way.
also its about time to change my suspension, i had two launches where i lauched pretty hard, both 1.65 and 1.64, but the car launches then it rebounds and breaks loose. the ideal launch for best traction is to have the car squat about 1-2 inches. that way there is no harsh rebound like i had.
all in all, the car has A LOT more in it, i just have to get rid of the 6 speed cause i refuse to put a 3000 dollar clutch in and just go breaking the stock tranny. BTW this is still with the stock tranny and stock axles... they really are holding up well!!
thanks guys!!!!

i will throw some more pics up tomorrow...

**** Jermy you've been trying to put the TH400 in for a while now. Im suprised the stock tranny and suspenion is holding up to. I've been meaning to go tot the track to see you run but the last two week ends havnt been good.
great times by the way. Im sure once you get everything done you will have a good low 10 sec. to 9 sec. car. That is going to be sick when it happens in the near future.

when it is test and tune, i like to try to nail a .000 for fun, they dont matter at all unless you are bracket racing...
JB, i really want to push the limits of the stock axles and tranny, performance motorsports only could run 10.3 with ALL of their money, i think i could run 10.6 at 16 psi, and thats with no nitrous and not too much boost.
i am only going to go back once more i think. then i will put the TH400 in, i really want to drive to "The Run" on dec 9th so i might wait till right after then.....
