The above streetcar setup actually went quickest and fastest in average condition with a different clutch that was designed for the street and advertised as a street clutch.
And in my experience was completely streetable.
Back on topic. What other cars are getting it done?

Taner is right there with his 6spd LT1 Camaro to he has been 10.09@136.37 NA and he has been 8.97@155 on the bottle. This was 2 years ago and now the car is a bunch lighter so I think it will go 9's NA and deeper into the 8's next spring. Oh and he drives the hell out of it on the streets.

Well I went 10.9 with 110 less hp, and 11 less mph, so Im going to disagree with you. Since turning 8000 RPM I cant get a clutch to shift, or hold, or do both....
See, I would love to go to a soft loc, and not have another issue, but I street drive ALOT! I could not imagine adjusting **** all the time, it would not be a street car at all to me. Thats a racecar, adjusted to drive on the street.
Every expert I have spoken to says soft loc, track only.
If this is not true, please enlighten me, becasue I am pulling my hair out with all these internet clutches that say they will work, and when they dont they dont stand behind ****.
I easily have the power, suspension, and setup minus the clutch to run 9's....

Here is some feedback from someone who has experience.
I see people struggling with clutches all the time who want the best of both worlds. It's really hard to have one clutch that does both. Most were just not designed for drag racing. The 2 that seem to do well in the vette world are the bc2(rps) and the mcleod dual,not sure which model. Both work well on the street and stripp but both have drawbacks. If you want more info on these please send a pm.
The adjustable clutches come in all styles some are streetable and others should never see the pavement. I would say that the mcleod soft loc is one of the more/most streetable adjustable clutches. It has a decent size performance window. I think more of the problem lies in understanding it and figuring it out which takes time and often a rebuild or 2. You need to understand how they work and take the time to make small adjustments on your particular setup and eventually it will be rewarding. Also, the setup is critical. You need to have the right accessory components and clearences to make it all work and don't forget a window in the bell housing. Send pm if interersted. If you are not a meticulous person then an adjustable clutch is probably not right for you. A few of these clutches like the soft-loc can be perfectly streetable again with the proper base pressure and counterweight. If you are not a track rat then you may want to go with a conventional clutch. Hopefully some of this info helps you make your decision. If you need more details/specifics then pm.

Early in year when slicks were still good I was hitting deep 1.4 60 fts, Ran my 10.41 with a 1.53 60ft spinning being Sidewalls are shot now, need rear adjustables to keep from hitting tires so hard causing sidewalls to get beat up.. Here is a screen shot of recent pass of rear tires just before it unloads.. Product of a short TQ arm...

six speed incs car was a T56 oops i mean T-5'4' , it only had 4 functioning forward gears. and they boned alot of people! including one of my best friends, but that is another thread.
all i need is a 4.86 gear and i know she will run in or about 9.7 on the motor comfortably.
as far as spray goes.. well i just wait to test that theory out!
will have to be spring though! grrrr ! my P.B. should go down a fair bit come the spring!
car weighed about 3575 or so when it went 10.09, as well i was not powershifting it at that time.
my combo is a pump gas LT1, 11ish to 1 compression

I ran 10.63 last outing. m6 car on a 26 in cheeter slick. I have gained more power since but not got back to the track yet. My car is a street car,heat,leather,power everything,stero,ect. 3,700lbs with me in it. I think the car has a low 10.5 in it after the new intake and cam and if i e85 tune she could go 10.3 or 10.4 on motor. tomorrow,i'll be taking her on a 200mi trip.
