I'm posting this so you "Pros" can give me some constructive criticism. Sunday was my first trip to the drag strip (actual dig racing).
I'll post my time slips and a couple videos so you can see the launch. It's still a stick car, and I'd like to get a 9 second pass before I ditch the manual.
I got in 6 passes (3 were scrapped) and improved my ET throughout the day, however my 60' sucked all day. I did not touch the suspension, and that is the Help I am looking for.
I believe the car is not transferring weight to the rear tires. Anything over 3k rpms would just knock the tires off resulting in an abandoned run.

10.5

10.4 but I lifted right before the end. Hence the low mph. I dont know why I let off early...

After looking at logs, and watching videos, I can tell my best run was when I revved 2nd gear out all the way. Please remember, these were my first passes on the new setup, so I was not using my WOT box, and not revving to 7300. I shifted early on the 1/2 to keep traction, and around 6500-6800 on 2/3 3/4.

I have the front Strange DAs set to full loose extension, with 3 clicks rebound. The rears are set at 4 clicks rebound, 3 extension. Any help is appreciated. Car is nose heavy, so I ran with a full tank.

 

The magic you need will come from controlling clutch engagement. Lots of trial and error in trying to perfect a foot-controlled launch, lots of wear/tear on the drivetrain as well. You can avoid that frustration and skip to the front by adding a clutch hit controller.

I got this feedback yesterday from one of my Procharged customers that had a similar 60' problem...
"Grant,
First I'd like to say that once I installed your clutch tamer on my mustang it was night and day. In six passes I went from a 1.8 to a 1.3 60 foot time. I know it will go faster, I just ran out of racing season. All the progress was made on the last two weekends at the track. I have 900 rwhp via F1A Procharger with a Mcleod RXT1200 and I was running a MT 26x10 stiffwall slick. Again I know it will go faster with this combo as I was still making shock and tire pressure adjustments. I was wondering what experience you've had or seen with regards to the use of drag radial and the clutch tamer?"

For a gen5 Camaro application, I would recommend the Hitmaster over the ClutchTamer. Here's a link to a page explaining my views on clutch tuning, shows how controlling clutch engagement can keep the engine happy and make the car more consistent without destroying parts...

Thanks. I am aware of your products. The transmission will come out one more time... when the TH400 goes in. And I don't believe in magic.
