Default Ran a 12, not happy...

Ran a best of 12.92 @109. 2.1 60' with the clutch slipping pretty bad. Ran a total of 8 runs, 3 12.9s the rest were 13's :/ including a 13.000 . Couldn't get the car outta the whole very well. It would either spin the tires or the clutch.



Heres the 12.9 video and you can hear how bad the clutch slips off the line and with each shift. This was my second pass of the day.

Here was my first pass of the day which is quite embarrassing . In this video you can hear what it sound like when the clutch grabs.

Overall I had fun and hit my goal of 12.xxx. I still wish I could've gotten a better time though. With those 60' times and the clutch slipping that bad I know it has at least a mid 12 in it.

Car looks great man. What tires are you running? Hopefully I can throw down similar times in my Camaro. I would be happy with a 12.9@109.

EDIT: Just saw you updated your list there. How do you like those tires? What gears are you running?

On the street they're great, but I was having a hard tine getting them to hook at the track. That was my first time at the track though. Stock 3.42 gears.

Looks almost identical to my old black 93 z28. I had chrome zr1's is the only difference. A better 60ft foot will take your time wayyy down.

Looks like you would run just about what im running with a 1.7 60'. That car will go deep into the 12s with a good launch. Here's a comparison what you would do with a good 60'

I understand the not being happy in the 12's i can not get my car to hook and my best 60 is a 2.6 I have run consistent 12.90 @ 115 with a 2.6 but nothing better hopefully when i ditch the 18 in. chrome C5 Zo6 rims and get the big's and littles on it will help also I need suspunsion work it is all stock.

Interesting. I plan on going full bolt on's, plus 4.10s. We should be making similar power at that time, I am just worried with the 4.10s that the car would not hook.

Is that an LS1 motor in that car or an LT1 motor?

It has to be an LT1. An LS1 with those mods would be closer to 400whp.
