Default Went to the track today

Went to Beech Bend with some guys from a local forum today for my first time.Only got to run it once.Killed the clutch.I was on 275 et street radials.Car pretty much sliped the clutch the whole way down the track to a 13.1@112mph.Got in and out of it 2 or three times.I already have lined up getting a th400 build for it.It will be built by andy mayes of mayes performance.

You should be in the 12.0 high 11s with your combo. If you are not going to run it with the 6spd any longer and only going back with the th400 I would expect for you to run mid 11s no problem with the right converter. Good Luck

i actually wasnt even expecting to go 12.0's or 11's yesterday.the car is still on the stock gear.i would have been happy with 12.30's.but after it sipped the clutch i didnt even think about making another pass.went straight back to the pits and put my street tires on
