Tick Faceplate - 9.27@148 Went to Cordova this weekend to try and take advantage of the unseasonably cool weather. First pass off the trailer ran a new personal best with the car 9.278@148.85.
Transmission is a Tick faceplated T56 with a Spec 4+ clutch
Second pass I turned it up a little bit but was too aggressive with the launch RPM so I ended up putting it on the bumper and drifting towards the center line at the top end so I clicked it off early coasting to a 9.657@121.37.

The front was fairly loose at only 2 clicks and the rears were at 70-80% stiff. To keep it down I could stiffen the front some or come down 200-300 RPM on the launch.

The car is currently at Real Street legal weight and a .82 jet in the plate. After the shootout there will be a couple of track rentals that I will try and chase a number at the end of the year in good weather.
The only change between the first and second pass was how quickly I ramped the N2O in.

"Face plating does NOT make your transmission clutchless, the shock load of shifting without the clutch will cause severe damage to your transmission."
For me what I do is use the clutch to launch the car and then for the rest of the shifts I do not use the clutch but "blip" the throtle and that along with the nitrous shutting off gives me a torque drop during the shift. I have yet to try shifting full throttle no clutch.
