moe,
clamping force is clamping force, i would recommend getting at least 100 miles on it. u need to heat cycle it as many times before honking on it! i have driven my car to the
track, with about 125 miles max, break in and went 9.4's...with my street twin, saweet!!!
i understand the principle behind the break in, but i am just telling you what i have done,
and it worked fine, and the clutch worked fine as well. just my .02 . maybe it is a chance i took , but it panned out. and has always worked fine. typically i get 250 on it before whacking it hard
i hope you guys won't be having withdrawls from Canadian beer, lol!!!!

Anyone good with using Tuner CATS? I can't find anyone to tune my car and time is running out. I'm not going to race it unless it's dynotuned. But at the very least I want to take some fuel out of it for part throttle so I can get some decent gas mileage when I drive it there. It's running very rich. It also won't run in closed loop for some reason.
Is there anyone who tunes lt1's around the area in BG?

Hey Taner, I think the leak issue has been fixed. A drop or two still appears here and there but according to Billy this is normal. Who knew?? I've got about 320 total miles on the clutch at this point. I haven't done any high RPM shifts yet but I can tell that I need more pedal. That's a quick adjustment though.
If it's not one thing it's another...chewed 2 ribs off the accy belt two nights ago. I guess the new ATI damper isn't quite lined up. One more item to fix.
Even if the car doesn't make it, it would still be great to see you there. Thanks for all the help!

Well was putting some miles on the new set up, when I looked over and seen a new ferrari next to me we both got on it and for some reason my tranny down shifted then up shifted for no reason. After the guy caught up to me he wanted to run from a dig. We did and I pulled on him hard again and in 3rd the tranny did it again. I might be out of the race but ill still be there. Sucks I wanted to race

Camaroracing its not to bad when I guy that spent over 100k for his care thinks my car is sick. I love it, I told him to follow me so we could get some on tape and he said why so I can be embarrased again. Lmao I said true I understand.
