I know someone that painted there stock bell housing black 
if tech ever looked under the car. But now with a dual disc clutch I see alot more stuff to come apart....
I figure the quicktime weights more then stock. anyone know about how much??
I worked on some older cars with poor fitting bellhouseing..2 starter spots, chevy, and BOP patterns. I hate that stuff, I want aftermarket parts to be better then stock.

Can you guys point me in the right direction.......
Car would dead hook with stock internals @ 6200rpm (then bog)
When I change the trans (RPM level 4) I found the slip yoke had twisted splines, so I installed a strange chromoly unit.
Since I added heads and cam - I can't dump the clutch on the 2-step above 4000 without massive wheel spin. Looks like a bounce/spin to me. Quick slips kind of work - maybe I just need more practice.
Tires are 26x11.5x15 ET Streets no tubes and a lot of passes on them - 12psi
4.11 Gears - 9" rear
Monster Level 3 clutch - Quicktime bell - Tick hydraulics
Lowers are in the stock holes
MWC short torque arm one hole down from the top (3rd hole up)
Pinion angle 1.5*
Spoon Drag bar
Front SA QA1's set at 1
Rear DA QA1's set C-12 R-12
I'm wondering if the tires are done - they are still sticky enough for them to pull the rpm's down in the burn box, but maybe the sidewall is wore out??? The have easily 150 passes on them - thread looks good still. I'd hate to buy tires right now and not have it help.....or should I just go 26" MT Drag Stiff walls or change the gear and go 28"s?
Car went 1.65's last night slipping the clutch @ 5500ish without the 2 step. As soon as I add the 2-step to the mix (WOT) and let the clutch out it's spin city.
I'll get some video up tonight - and slow it down.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

The slo-mo vid will tell you a lot on what the suspension/chassis is doing and what it needs. If you're getting tire bounce on the hit, it'll need a lot more compression and rebound. Hopefully the QA1's have enough valving.

Not familiar with the QA1's, so where are the adjustments at in the range? Are they maxed out or is there more left? I'm assuming the negative means stiffer, no?

The QA1's range from 1 to 24 and are currently at 12 for both compression and rebound. (sorry for the confusion with the dash) So I can tighten them up 12 more clicks. Sounds like I should take them up 6 more clicks and try them there.

Mike thanks for the response - the slow mo video does still show a bounce.

video is all washed out from the lighting - I tried to adjust it but it makes it worse. You can see it hit the tire, then the tire bounces, and unloads.

Tried it today with the shocks @ 15 compression and rebound 9. Car came out spinning to a magnificent 1.7x 60' - with 15psi in the tires, tried again with 12psi in the tires and the same crappy 60'. Went back to 12 compression and rebound 8 - same thing just spun the whole way through the 60'
1st 2 launches were at 5000rpm quickly letting the clutch out and the 3rd was a 5000 rpm dump. No 2-step today.
No video - I was solo today.
I was going to get drastic and change the lower control arm angle - but found one of my screw in studs had backed out and bent....I called it quits.
Shock changes aren't making a huge difference - maybe the tires are just done......time to go 4.56's and 28" stiff walls?
