Default New Best Shifting T56 to 9.39 @ 146 at WCF Import Vs Domestic (Video)

Spent the weekend at MIR for import vs domestic race, including 10.5 cars and X275, and some other class which had the worlds fastest IRS Vette and Fastest LSX I think. 6.82 - setting new record in my street car, street clutch spec 3..

Anyway set some records myself with the T56, Best in title 9.39@146 with a 1.38 60ft.. I included Video of my 9.43 pass @ 146/ 1.38 through muffler!
New tires and 10" wheels working well, I was able to run more PSI with the 10" wheel helping with the wadding, as well as the wider wheel itself helping sidewall.
I had 4 passes in a row @ 1.38,1.37,1.38, 1.39.. 6K launch, Nitrous coming on at 65% w/.2 second delay. Car was working well!

That's awesome.

Question, is there anything you can do about your car bouncing after the intial lift? I don't know, just asking, wouldn't it be even faster if you don't have to deal with it bouncing like that?

Thank You guys.. Feel like the car is working well.. Has more though, but efficient with a street clutch.

Thunder, A gear change would help, car is over geared right now with 4.10s and needs 3.73s back in. First gear is ending just as front resurfacing, thus making it a harder bounce. 3.73s would stretch that a little farther and keep car in power range - right now I go through traps at 7200 and really do not make power there. Could have stiffened front strutts more that day to I believe, But with 4 60fts in the 1.30s I was not touching it.

Here is a pass from last year with no traction, looks much better.. - After this pass at Cecil I drove it home 5 hours to PA due to trailer breaking a wheel.


ALso showcases my shifting a little better

Thank You, looks like a strong combo you have! I run a Strange 12 bolt 35 spline - Been holding up well for me.
I leave at anywhere from 45-6500, depending on track, Prep, How old my tires are ect. On these particular passes I was leaving at 6000 RPM.
I use a quick release method initially, then when tires start to hit I let it go.

Tires play a huge rule, I beat the sidewalls up fast and they do not last long..

Adamantium: Thank You, Hope I can keep feeding decent video, I rarely have a camera man though.. SO most my good passes get missed.

Love the car and congrats on the great ET/Mph. I love seeing fast T56 cars.

Btw, beat shifting I've ever heard in a T56 F-Body!

Awesome! Thank you very much! I have put a lot of time into hitting them as fast as I can.. I look dumb in staging lanes practicing my shifting, but do it constantly.. Usually next day hand and left leg hurts like he11, I am waiting to break bolts in the pro5.0.
