Default What Is Your Mph??

Guys with low 13's what do you MPH. The reason i ask is i've run 13.01 at 109 and i think the MPH is off But i think it's a clutch problem. So what do you run?

if you are running a stock clutch it could be a problem . with your mods i dont see why you are not doing a mid 12 unless it is in your suspension setup . look into some lcas / lca relocation bracket for starters and maybe throw in a phb .

Your mph looks good, just not with the 13 e.t., should be a quicker e.t. in that car.

do you think it's the clutch? I don't smell it burning and it will light up the 315 BFG's with no problem. It's the stock clutch with over 100,xxx on it.

get rid of that clutch, getting the car to smoke the tires doesn't mean the clutch is working. it's that 1-2 shift at max torque, what does it do then?


when you shift do your rpm stay the same for a sec., drop, and then the car starts to move again? thats a sign of a dead/dieing clutch. just cause you drop it and it burns them doesn't mean much in a car with 300 horse power. you you had a geo then that wold be different.
