Dynoed the car/went to the track yesterday.
Dyno/went to the track/video Had 6 vehicles go to run on the dyno yesterday.After that we all went to the track for a little fun. My 99 FRC is all stock with the exception of the B&B cat back. Made three pulls and they were all within 1hp. Results were 309.3 RWHP and 318.54 RWT. I was pretty pleased with what the car made. 
So after the dyno pulls for everybody we all headed to the track. Beech Bend in Bowling Green. Found out real quick that the stock clutch in the car was not happy with the strip. First pass the clutch somewhat held off the line from the 3500 drop. 2.1 60 foot. However when I power shifted to second the tach never dropped and the clutch never held. Smoked it really bad. We let the car sit for about 2 hours and tried it again. i left the line very easy and granny shifted into second. I waited unitil I got into 3rd gear before I got in it. Made a 13.3 at 109.6 mph. I felt it was ok condsidering how I had to leave the start due to the clutch. This was the first time I have ever ran any car on the strip and it was alot of fun. So know I get to put in a Textraila clutch and let the modding start.
Here is the video of me having to baby the car through 1st and 2nd gear. The video is not all that great, but oh well.

I played around with a bunch of different clutch's and went back to a stock Z06 set up. Even with the spray the clutch has held up great. I had very bad luck with a spec stage 3 hybrid then the stage 3 both with the lightweight flywheel.

Hey you should also try the new Raptor XXL air intake my buddy has a 2000 FRC and it did 303.2 on the dyno and it went to 319.5 with just the Raptor install. He also picked up almost 3mph in the 1/4 and shaved off almost .20.
I am trying to decide on a clutch right now. I am more than likely going to run the Textraila. My buddy has one behind a stout motor and it see's a ton of track use. So far with over a 100 passes at the track it is still going strong.
