CARTEK installed their new clutch design in my car a few weeks ago and last night I went to test it out at Atco. The clutch felt awesome, the results were promising [10.53 @ 130+ with a 1.42 60'] so I figured it would be worth it to call out of work and go to E-Town tonight.
The car was spinning off the line, but with enough tire I guess even with spin you can pull a decent 60' The 60's were still not what I wanted, and nowhere near my best 60's but the car still performed.
First pass off the street after swapping to slicks from street tires:
5900rpm launch [very low for me]
60'......1.460
1/8......6.703
MPH....102.17
1/4......10.496
MPH.....130.43
First pass and a new best? Tis was going to be a good night.
After a 10.50 and a 10.51 with even crappier 60's I figured out the launch sweet spot for the current track conditions.
4th pass was as fallows:
60'......1.445
1/8......6.674
MPH....102.61
1/4......10.457
MPH.....130.90
5th pass was the best, and gave me a chubby when I saw the slip
60'......1.452
330'.....4.282
1/8......6.652
MPH.....103.51
1000'....8.696
1/4......10.417
MPH.....131.15
Don't forget it still a stock 6speed with stock rods, stock pistons, stock crank. Its a stock bottom end with a bolt on set of heads and a cam that anyone can call CARTEK and get.
My ultimate goal for this set up was a 10.39 and I think just based on the crappyness of tonights 60's its very possible. I just have to get my 60's back into the 1.40-1.42 range and I am golden!
I know I have said this a million times, but;
I can not thank CARTEK enough. Over the years they have been awesome friends and the best shop I could have ever asked for. They have build me one hell of a setup.
Thank You Dave
Thank You Julio
Thank You Mike
Thank You Roy
Thank You Rich
Hell even thank you Julian for answering the phone and taking such wonderful messages!
CARTEK is the best. If I had the cash I would hire a few chicks to polish each of their *****! I cant thank you guys enough! I love this set up.
