oh i know all about the clutch and rear issues...i have a built trans and diff because of it haha....broke my trans output shaft inside of the diff busting my new ring gear at the time. This clutch should handle anything I throw at it. Its the Spec PT trim twin disk good to supposedly 1395lbs of tq...if i did a blower it would primarily be the street machine the vette should be with the occasional drag strip visit

It seems to be doing ok so far, 83 dyno pulls and about 20 1/4 mile passes, but I'm not kidding myself, I know it's on borrowed time, lol. Congrats again on the times!

That's leaving now! Nice passes! You would have been moving even more in Memphis, DA was -400 at one point. Track had teeth too. Nice conditions there this weekend, too bad they ran such a crappy program for the LSX'rs.
I scaled back to 14* timing to try the 10.0 index and was still in the 9.80's.
What do you think a 3.2 on yours and that weather combo would yield - 8's?
What cam is in this motor?

It was no different from the first LSX shootout really, lot of waiting and I ended up purposely losing 2nd round just so I could go home
I dont think the 3.2 would help much, it gets pretty hot with the 3.4 but it may help a little. Honestly I'm pretty happy with the 5.80s, its not pushing any water and its running quick enough. Be easier to pull some weight out to pick up a tenth in the 1/4.
Cam is a five year old Thunder racing 224/227, .550 lift 114LSA , I think it may be a lunati, numbers are ground off the end so I dont know who made it.
Na, its 3380 with me in it. I have power steering, power brakes, stock hood, heavy carpet, rear bumper support, radio, door bars are still in the doors, 10pt cage with extra bars, wheels arent light, not one piece of metal has been cut out and I'm 230 lbs. Seems light compared to the all the 4000lb cars around I guess..
When did you get the 10pt in her?

Damn, mines a toad. ****....the steel block adds 85 or so but I'm at 3240 without me and gas.....and that's only a six point moly. I drove it to town today and met Bob for lunch...told him I'm done with manual steering! Time to get an LS type of bird!
When did you get the 10pt in her?

You need just to buy this car and be done with it
Weather was great in Memphis for sure, pretty tempting but my sister in law is visiting from Europe and I couldnt do it. Good thing probably since she was bored after an hour at the local 1/8 mile track.

Cool, glad my lack of motivation motivated someone

I know, but i'm susbscribing to 'dont fix what isnt broke' theory for now. My luck I'd screw something up during the 'good' weather here. If I still have the car in the spring I'll swap it, I picked up a solid tenth and a couple mph with the cam i got from you a couple years ago over the 222/228 XE cam I ran so I expect the same results out of this combo with a cam swap.

I think I recall you using radials in the past and not being fond of them. I forget exactly why though. What made you switch to the radials and what, if anything, did you have to adjust suspension-wise to make them work? It seems like you once you got the tire pressure dialed in the launch was just as good, if not better than the Hoosiers you had on previously. Awesome runs! 
congrats KP

Hoosier 275/60/15s at 16psi cold, 17.5 psi right after a pass seemed to work the best.
