Went to the track the other night only got 2 passes off b/c it was packed. The second run i ran a 13.07 at 111.76mph w/a 2.25 60'. I dropped it at 2k waited for it to hook and hammered it. i was shifting before 6k. this was on 275/60/15 BFG radial TAs.

Slip the clutch at about 3500 and you'll get better 60' times. Should be an easy 12.7-.8 on a 2.0 60'

what do you mean by slip. is that the same as dropping it. i cant drop past 2k b/c i already lose traction at 2k if i drop it.

Slip means let the clutch out slowly. Theres much more to driving a M6 than just dumping the clutch...that why I drive an auto.

def try slipping that clutch out a little. basically instead of jsut dumping it try releasing in a slower, more controlled singular motion..so the disk engages the flywheel more slowly and you do not shock the tires as hard.

shift that thing as high as you can without tagging the rev limiter, ls1's need rpm

my rev limiter is set at 6700. hopefully ill be able to make more passes next time i go out.

the mph is indicative of mid to low 12 second times with traction. Get that sixty foot down, get some sticky tires and you'll be able to drop the clutch at a higher rpm and see lower ets!

i would not shift the car very much above the stock limiter with stock pushrods and valvesprings FYI, that's asking for some **** to happen that you won't like very much

I would at least put better valve springs in your car. I spun my car to 6900 with stock pushrods so as long as you do not miss a shift you should be fine. Good luck with the car.

So while im slipping do i give it more gas or wait till it is completely engaged? What rpm should i try this at? keep in mind im on Radial TAs.

Thanks

you'll have to feel it out. you don't want to floor it as quickly as you would if you dumped it cuz then you'll just smoke the **** out of the clutch and potentially just bust the tires loose again.

its a pretty even motion IMO. the rate you are letting that clutch out is going to be similar to the rate at which you'll be putting the gas down.

its hard to explain on the internet man, most folks i help with driving i can just get in their car with them in the passenger seat and teach some lessons.

just play with it. go find a road somewhere that you can mess around on and just work on getting the car out of the whole with no bog and little to no spin. no burnout, just drop hte PSI in the DR's..if you can get the technique down on un prepped road(find concrete) with no burnout you'll nail it at the track..
