Default What do you guys think it should run with tires

Well I ran my car last year at the track and it went 14.2 at 98mph
4.10's air foil.

Last night the car would either spin or bog, best pass was 14.111 at 101.86 and the clutch slipped through first, second and grabbed in third.
CAI, 1.6 roller rockers, dynomax bullet ws6 short shifter 160 degree thermostat.

race weight 3740 with me in it. I weigh 215lb

If the clutch is slipping it needs to be replaced before anything else, the reason i say this is, you mentioned "what will it run with a set of tires", not trying to be a smartazz, but really, if its slipping with street tires, what do you think is going to happen with stickies, replace the clutch 1st., i'm sure once the clutch is replaced & a sticky set of tires it'll go mid. 13s easy.

I made about 5 passes before the clutch got hot and started slipping. It's done that before in a street race once. I just slipped on accident during my launch and therefore it slipped the rest of the pass.

Its toast!! Thats why i'll NEVER slip the clutch on launch, it'll prematurely take out even a newer clutch doing this, replace the clutch/flywheel/pp/pilot bearing, break it in properly, start dumping it off the line, if you have stickies, its going too bogg, then you have to start worrying about the rearend, man its a never ending battle going raceing isn't it . But it is fun.

Your clutch is shot and when you put a dr or slicks on it, have fun pushing your car home.

Shitty clutch= 2.2


Even with street tires you can do better than that with a working clutch.
