The track is about 700ft above sea level, if were lucky it will get to that point DA wise. Once in a great while it almost hits sea level, but thats pretty rare.

I'm guessing right around 11.35 for you the next time out. You come out here to race and I'll pay your entry fee. Real big of me huh? Maybe AC could put you up for a few nights. That is unless you kick his butt.

I've only got 2 runs in on this setup before my stock clutch **** the bed, best was 12.9 with the clutch slipping. I wont have new times until next season since my cars apart awaiting install on a 9" and all the other suspension stuff. Engine combo will be the same so itll be interesting to see if I can get my times near you guy's.

I hope so, I need to get the tune tweaked a bit Its a bit off down low and im pretty sure i was getting Valve float in the higher rpms due to me not setting the valves 100% power was completely falling at 5900rpms. Guess I'll see spring time once the cars back together and ready to go. But Im sure the 9" and mcleod twin will eat up some power like it did with ur set up. Where did you get urs from AC? Did it come with the throw out bearing and aligning tool?

I got mine from Speedinc and they put it in originally so Im not sure if it came with a alignment tool, When I rebuilt everything I found one at Oreillys since it was sunday and Speed was closed. You need the input shaft looking one, not the cone deal for single disc clutches
Throw out looks new so Im assuming it did come with one.
Still kinda pissed the clutch robbed so much, but it drives way better than my friends Spec3+ in his stang and will hold more power. Plus the weight should help to get the car moving.

Looks like all you guys including myself need to go to next years Shootout. I'm planning on towing my car out there with my Mom's TBSS assuming I have the money. Will be tough since I will just be graduating college and looking for a job but I plan to do my best. By then I'm hoping to have this thing running 11.20-30's so we should have some good competition

What will the Ai nutswingers say when a bunch of LE2 cars are running low-mid 11's with most of them on stock bottom ends?

I'd Love to go to the shoot out next year but it's way to far for me to travel. Hopefully you guys can all make it out and like you said show those AI Meatswingers what up.
