First run this year. I'm in Well I ran
60' 1.849
330 5.033
1/8 7.646
mph 96.58
1000 9.0871
1/4 11.707
mph 123.49
what do you guys think? I was only able to make one pass on 17" nittos spinning. Also my my clutch is not grabbing well. I was driving home and was in 6th gear and it would rev and then grab when i stepped on the accelerator. I need to know what kind of clutch to get.

ET is **** poor for the MPH. Get a good clutch and put some ET skreets on. You've got a 12blt, now use it. Stop monkeying around and let's see some 1.4-.5 60's 
You should be running 10's...

Not bad for a single run on slipping clutch. Welcome to the club. Now, in order to get you the hell OUT of this club and into the 10's, you need a new clutch with a nice ET street or better and a hard launch.
I'm an auto guy so take it with a grain of salt, but I'd look into a high level spec, ram powergrip (i think) or the clutch I somehow decided I'd get if I switched to a built T-56 instead of rebuilding my 4L60E, a twin disk Mcleod

I just ordered a star spec stage 5 clutch and will see if I can overcome 11's in weeks to come. Ill try on a borrowed set of ET streets on a 16" wheel. I have only minor suspension done : sfc, lower control arms, and no front sway bar. I know my mph is good for 10's. But sometimes its easier said then done. Especially in a manual. Also my race weight is around 3900+lbs. I need to take my sub, backseats, jack/spare out the next time out. I launched at 2500 RPM spinning the tires. Next time maybe 4500-5000rpm dump.
