Went to SGMP in valdosta, Georgia. This is one of the best tracks I've been to. Hardly any wait to make passes good prep and good people runinng it.

I had a new best
r/t .116
60' 1.896
330 5.307
1/8 8.111
mph 87.97 (Clutch was slipping)
1000 10.512
1/4 12.551
mph 108.88

The stock clutch was not enjoing the 1.8 60'
My best slip with the clutch not slipping bad
r/t .068
60' 1.906
330 5.324
1/8 8.151
mph 89.42
1000 10.571
1/4 12.615
mph 110.68

I'm losing mph at the top of the track It should go 112 with a new clutch I would think. This is full weight floor matts everything. Tires i drove on for 2 hours to get there and back etc. All I did was tech in and make passes makes it a fun day. My best 60' of the day was a 1.87, but i missed a shift on the run doh

If anyone cares to answer. Which clutches should I be looking at I've heard lots of praise of the ls7 clutch, but I'm not sure how it will handle leaving the whole at 4K rpms. Especially when I start spraying it. The Spec 3 or Spec 3+ are also options but I've heard a lot of negative review of them. Thus, I'm not real sure about them. Is there no other positive alternative to just breaking down and spending 1k on a textrailia? Any opinions....
The plan is to be able to use a 150 shot out off the line on my bolt-on car.
