Only 20# lighter, and a true carbon/carbon design.

Not disagreeing with you, but I believe my RPS carbon carbon is like their triple and is 100% carbon so the hotter is gets the better it bites. Are you familiar with RPS clutches? You might be right?

Nope, the Tilton triple was fine. At ~ 1250-1350, we might start to see an issue, but the 4 plate is good for 1600.

I'd love to see what it would do with traction in every gear. Maybe a gear based boost controller, like INTMD8 is using.
Did you guys log the run at all? I wonder how it compares to his 1/4 mile run too.
Congratulations on the 210mph!

We do have boost by gear just like Jim, only we got too aggressive with the Gate pressure. Boost was OK, but we just need more time with the controller and more heat in the tire.

I log every run, Im not sure what I would do with out a log!!

His 1/4 mile run was probably faster, as this car didnt hook what so ever.

Cool. I'm looking forward to what a little more experience with this combo will do. It sure has been impressive so far.

You could tell in the videos that he was having the pedal it in first and second and never really hammered it in third. With traction more time would have been spent accelerating and not spinning. What was done to make the Supra hook so well?
