Car is running great. Have tried to run the car a couple times but kept getting rained out. Going to run it this Sunday at a track rental, so should get plenty of passes to dial it in as well as Jessica's supra, which I'm trying to get down in the .20s to be ready for the wcf race next month. With the camaro I'd be happy with anything in the 8s but I'd personally like to see an 8.6x@166 or so. With the gear and tire I have on the car now that's about as fast as I think it will go.

The car went 9.3@160 first pass 9.2@161 second pass. Starting line isnt great i had to pull a lot of power out. Hopefully some big tire cars will run soon and lay some rubber fown for me..

9.24@163 was the best pass. 60 fts were terrible 1.40-1.43. Needs a little spray in 2nd gear to bring the turbo back on..im losing a ton of et there when i hit 2nd.

does the motec have a feature you can cut timing if you use a switch on the clutch? Just do a no lift shift and cut timing when you hit the clutch and keep the skinny pedal on the floor. It has worked well so far in my car.

Yes you can set a clutch switch as a digital input and cut timing, you can also cut it by gear or driveshaft rpm.

Yea you can do it easily with the motec, but i've had problems breaking transmissions doing that so i'm afraid to try it again. This car either needs to pull to 7500 so i shift out of 1st at a higher speed, or it needs a 100-125 shot in 2nd gear, or both. On my supra i tested it one time, without spray it went 8.94@162, with a 150 shot in 2nd gear only it went 8.62@168.


Here a video from today i think it's the 9.24 pass.

It says video is private. I didn't think about it breaking transmissions I bent the mainshaft in mine but I was thinking that was more a launch issue. Guess there is only one way to find out if the t56 can handle it.
