Here you go. simple drag race analyzer numbers, 28" tire, 4.88 gear, 2.97 1st gear, 1000fwhp @ 7500rpm 347 inch engine, 3300lb f-body, non slider clutch dropping it at 8000rpm.
RPM gets up there pretty quick in 1st it seems, I'm sure they have a log to post but I dont see anything too hard to believe about this post. Especially since I have seen and watched the car myself and even touched it lol.
I'm sure they arent making 1000fwhp but thats the only power curve I had handy..

its more accurate then you think, at least there is something right there in black and white that supports my opinion.
Lets see your math.
And FWIW I can personally care less about how many rpm its turning, I just dont find it that unreasonable to call bullshit on - especially with a slipping clutch.

Why would you go in at 400 to 600 rpms higher than your shift points. That makes no sense. Talk to Greg Anderson in Pro stock. Talked with one of his crew this afternoon about my setup. If what you say is true prostock is turning theres 13,000 rpms and I know that is not right.

Here you go. Do this math. http://www.markwilliams.com/calculators.aspx
2.66 1st
1.97 2nd
1.43 3rd
1.00 4th
4.86 rear gear and enter the rpm at the bottom 9800. It will show you exactly what you say is not possible.

Once again its not MY math, its called drag racing analyzer pro by performance trends. I think they even have a fee trial - load it up and then tell me about how full of crap it is when you put the proper numbers in. I just guessed a bunch of things but I wasnt too far off.
How do you know you are shifting exactly at the 60 foot mark, in 1st gear 10' makes a pretty big difference in rpm.
Its really a pointless argument, you werent there, I wasnt there. You call BS I think its possible - no one wins..

The ram is not a real clutch. Call ACE or better yet call Anderson. I am sure you have never seen my car go down the track but I can tell you this, come to the NMCA in Milan next month if you don't believe me. Just because you are upset we are calling BS on your math is no reason to get in a pissing match. I will post the Big Stuff Logs in the morning after we test. That should prove that what we are saying is correct. Also look at one of my other posts. I never said the clutch that was in the car in the video was right. As a matter of fact I posted that we blew thru that clutch and completely distroyed it due to the power level we are at. I also posted we had a new clutch from Bontifonte on the way for it. That is what i mean by real clutch.

Also I posted we had no counter on the clutch and no base and it still wouldn't slip. That is on page 3 by the way. The video you can hear the clutch didn't slip and that was only the 2nd pass off the trailer when we turned it 9800rpms. I also never posted all of the video so how do you know it was in 1st gear we did? Doesn't matter if you believe me as long as the video, time slips and logs prove other wise.

Thanks for the offer to help but we have one of the best clutch guys in the country here right now. If we need advice I will have him call you. And no this is not meant to be a smart allic comment. I do appreciate you trying to help but this thread was just to show people what a LS2 sounds like at 9800. Not get into a pissing match about what is possible and what is not. It is possible point blank.

Oh, i have seen your car go down the track last year when you claimed you put a new motor in it just for the race at milan and we were supposed to be shocked then. i dont think it went any faster than 10.70.. the day you helped tosto rebuild his trans at the track in case you forgot..
so just to help you out a little so that you dont have to rev 10000 rpms to go 60 feet, your clutch is NOT supposed to slip all the way to 4th gear

I think that you misunderstood my statements, i am not in any way saying that you cant rev an ls1 that high, simply the fact that at 9800+ rpms with a 4.88 gear and a 2.66 first gear and 28 tall tires would carry out way farther that what was shown.

If you saw the car we went 10.24@135mph at that race. I think you have our car confused. Either way this is pointless arguing that is getting now where. They are going to post the big stuff log in the morning and then it will be over. If I am not right on the clutch slipping then hey I am wrong. Still does not give you the right to hijack a post you have nothing to do with. Oh and by the way that was a stock bottom end all we did was heads for that race. Alot of guys there know that.
