Default Going to attempt a pass this saturday w/new setup

OK OK!!!!! Everyones been picking at me to go to the track so. Enough is enough.... I'm going to see what i can do to get the car down to the track saturday for a couple shake down passes at full weight and see what we can shake out of it. I'm worried about the clutch and driveline but my guess is the clutch wont hold and it'll be my final straw before ripping it all apart. Temps look like their going to be in the mid to upper 80's at cecil county dragway. Hope I can find someone with a trailer to come down

For those that dont know the combo:
Raceweight is going to be 3420lbs
4.10rear gears
6spd 2005 C6 trans
Spec twin PT clutch
Iron 6.0L block 410ci
TFS 235 CNC heads milled to 11.8:1 compression
Pat G cam 247/251 624/624 on 112+2LSA
Fast 90mm ported intake ported 90mm TB
Vararam
SLP 85 MAF screened
ARH 1 7/8 headers 3in off road xpipe
SLP loudmouth
Stock suspension
CCW polished drag pack with 28in Hoosiers 17in frt runners
538rwhp/484rwtq

Stock rockers.. Afr heads with a I think its a G5x3 cam.. Mikey did the setup awhile back.. Makes me want to stay away from afr heads.. All that damage from one dam spring. It will be in my garage for awhile it looks worse in person..

Are you FN crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm thinking 10.6s at 131-132mph for the temp, first time out, and not going to take the pass seat out etc. If I end up in really really good air temps with a 10.2x at 135mph i'll be extatic. The car is too heavy to get down to those ET's IMO and the cam may be the wrong one for that aswell and a bunch of small things that add up

Yea man, My guess is 10.6s easy, but def bring a lot of SYN DOT 4 to flush your clutch fluid good. Is it shifting hard at all? Thats how i F'd up my trans, going from 3rd to 4th with NO clutch because fluid was fried black cause of shitty LS7 clutch I had in it...
