Yet more bests! I love this time of year, that and getting my drivetrain right <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
I dropped back to the 3450 weight and ran some new bests. The weather was also a little better.
Best of the night:
60' - 1.610
1/8 - 7.214
mph - 96.58
1/4 - 11.235
mph - 122.78
A ran 11 passes with about 50% in the 11.2s with the rest in the 11.3s. I ran a new best 60' of 1.59 as well. I was also happy that the car ran pretty consistent 60's of 1.61-1.63. I could taste 11.teens but the track went away and my 60's dropped off to mid to high 1.6s.
I'm also up against the problem I had last winter with the boltons, the rev-limiter. I have it set with hypertech at 6600, but I'm hitting the limiter right before the traps. Until I can get the programming done, I guess I'll have to live with that.

Re: Yet more bests! That freaking car is flying!
Con-GRATS!
Dang you GOT to get some tuning. If you were to rev to 6800 in all 4 gears. I bet it would be worth a 10th at least.
Good luck!

Re: Yet more bests! Damn Mark that car is ******' flying! <img src="gr_eek2.gif" border="0">
What MC are you using and how do you like the Ram clutch on the street?
I was hoping for a new best on Sunday but my car had a hard time shifing, it would 60' like a **** 1.57 <img src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Re: Yet more bests! Thanks <img src="gr_stretch.gif" border="0">
MMmmmm, tuning <img src="gr_grin.gif" border="0"> Hopefully I can get it done before too long. I went to the track "just one more time" before pulling my pcm and blew up the tranny again. So my tuning funds went towards that and a new clutch <img src="gr_sad.gif" border="0"> I was shooting for 124 mph when I put the h/c package in. If I had the extra 200 rpm in rev-limiter, I think I would be real close.
I'm still using the Cartek master and slave. I did the drill out when I installed the Ram and it hits much harder now. The clutch is about the same as the Cartek as far as chatter. I guess I'm just used to it now, but its not bad and I can seem to slip the Ram a little better than I could the Cartek. Plus it was only $320.

Re: Yet more bests! I love the way the Cartek clutch works on the street.
Sometimes it seems that the engagement point changes.... sometimes it's in the middle and sometimes it's at the top. I can powershift @ 6800 on the street no problem but @ the track it won't go into gear (it started last month) I think it has something to do with the fluid heating up during the burnout, I still have the fluid that came with the master. I might try bleeding it and see what happens.
I know that I will have to go into the tranny because I beat the crap out of it Sunday while shooting for 11.3X's
What was your 330' time?

Re: Yet more bests! My tranny needs a rebuild too, it wouldnt shift into 2nd very good and grinded 3rd and it got stuck in 4th! I had to beat the crap out of my shifter to get it out so I could make a few more passes. LOL.
Re: Yet more bests! Jamie my clutch was sticking in gear when my clutch was going bad. I changed clutches and now it is fine.. I suspect TO bearing in your case though. Mine was pretty shot..
