4.30's is sounding enticing! I had my street tires at 30 psi and the NT05R's at 20 psi.

Well you definitely gained a lot in the mph. Honestly I dunno how some guys are getting 117mph trap speeds in the 1/4 mile without weight reduction. My car's highest trap was a little over 112mph, and I'm making, supposedly, 408whp. Your mph is indicative of a 12 sec. car. A 2.0 or better 60' will get you there.

congratulations......you just geared him to run 112mph in 4th gear with 4.56 @6700 rpm assuming stock tire height. Where do some of you idiots come up with dumb **** like that?

Even 4.30 only gets him to 119. A well modded ls1 with bolt ons should easily do 115 these days. I did 116.x in a bolt on ls1 that didn't even have headers.

Your info is no longer true. Radials + stick is easy with a clutch hit controller, the hit ends up softer than an automatic. Also quicker/cheaper than switching to bias slicks.

Weedy....this guy is so far off using your clutch tamer it isn't even worth the pitch yet lol

although it does seem like a great piece to help keep a 10bolt alive.

I appreciate everyone's input and information. I am trying to learn as much as I can, so the next time I go I can improve a ton. I am willing to make changes, whether it be to the car or myself. I dont have a drag racing mentor, or any friends in the drag racing game. I also dont know anyone with a similar car and setup as mine, so it's tough being a newb.

It's always more fun when you can drive thru the gates and kick some old school *** without the hassle of changing tires

Doesn't specifically mention it in the CPS rules like it does in Coyote, but the rules between the two classes are almost word for word identical. Both classes contain the same words that make it sound like a no-go in CPS...

Chev Performance stock clutch rules...
CLUTCH Clutch and Flywheel meeting SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 is required. Diaphragm Pressure Plate assembly is required. Single Clutch Disc with a minimum of 10 inches in diameter is required. Factory style mechanism for clutch operation is required. Clutch release must be manually operated by driver’s foot. The use of electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics, or any other device is prohibited from affecting clutch system/operation. Steel flywheel shield meeting SFI Spec 6.1 is mandatory. Flywheel shield cannot be modified for clutch adjustment and/or cooling holes.

Coyote Stock clutch rules...
CLUTCH Clutch and Flywheel meeting SFI Spec 1.1 or 1.2 is required. Diaphragm Pressure Plate assembly is required. Single Clutch Disc with a minimum of 10 inches in diameter is required. Factory style cable mechanism for clutch operation is required. 2005 and up Mustangs are allowed to retro--‐fit to the 79’--‐04’ factory style cable mechanism. Clutch release must be manually operated by driver’s foot. The use of electronics, pneumatics, hydraulics, or any other device is prohibited from affecting clutch system/operation. Unmodified Clutch Tamer is permitted. Steel flywheel shield meeting SFI Spec 6.1 is mandatory. Flywheel shield cannot be modified for clutch adjustment and/or cooling holes.

I do know the ClutchTamer was run in at least 2 CPS events last year.

Thanks!

Quick way to see if there's any 60' left in those current ClutchTamer settings...
...add 1 turn clockwise to the outer delay **** and make a pass. If the 60 gets worse, that's ok and not a problem.
...add .5 turn clockwise to the inner hit dial per pass until the 60's stop improving.
4 or more turns of delay usually leads to the best 60's, but it's best to work your way up to that especially if you have a weak link in the drivetrain.

Some Coyote guys are up over 20psi in their slicks and still dead hooking.
