Default 3 new bests today...

New best 60' - 1.55
New best 1/4 - 11.37
New best mph - 122.87
Got the 4.30 gears in this past week and dropped .4 off the 1/4, and .1 off the 60' <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> Awesome day down in south GA for racing. No clue on the DA, raceweight was 3420. I only had about 3 good runs, thanks to clutch problems. It was practically impossible to get the 1-2 shift. Was hoping for 11.2's, but I'm happy. Now to put the hose to it <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Give me the hour of your best runs and I'll run a DA calculation for ya. I believe it was in the 400 range most of the day, but I'll check for sure if you post the times.

By the way - don't turn the hose on it yet - some of us are attempting to catch up.

LOnSLO, can you tell me what type of problems you had with shifting?
what is your set-up? spec pressure plate?
updated hydraulics? adj. master?
drill-mod?
thanx!

awesome 60ft! you went to 4.30 gears from what?

after my passes with the spec stage three and stock pressure plate, my clutch pedal sticks to the floor board. but shifts perfectly during the run <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

My clutch wasn't fully releasing between shifts. I had to fight it to get into the next gear. I have the Gen2 pressure plate, w/ stock master. Funny thing is, it just started doing this when I put the 9" in. I'm going to try bleeding it again, and if that doesn't help, I'm moving to the Ram setup. Had 3.89 gears before. Mine has also stuck to the floor a couple of times in the past at the track, but nothing recently.

Ryan....that's kickin' *** bud <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> Nice 60' Where are you leaving at? Looks like I'm still chasin' the big boys <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Best I could muster was a lame 11.70 on a 1.80 @ 120 last weekend at the shoot out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Embarrassed]" src="gr_emb.gif" /> Also having clutch issues. Time to nut up and do the RevLok <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
