You will hate a locker on the street. I can tell you they are dangerous in a m6 car. The spool was much more street friendly. I could kill a set of clutches in a posi in one season back a few years ago when use to race every Friday and Sat night. My spool was about 20 pounds lighter than the locker or posi also. I probably put 30-40k on each set up. Just something to think about

My best time was a 12.2, but we forgot to turn off my speed limiter, so I was shutting off a little past the 1000 ft mark. Every trap was 115.50 mph. Once that's turned off, I'll easily be in the elevens. Also, with the stock tq converter and 273 gears, I couldn't get under a 2.0 60ft. She's slow out of the whole.

STALL IT! How bad was the lag? You never said if wrapping the exhaust helped any...You need lower gears for the turbo something like 3.08-3.42s. Race gas and up the boost!

Times werent there tonight, 11.4 was best pass and had a little wheel spin on a few of em, but did manage to figure out some grey areas leaving the line like rpm/boost/etc.... managed a best 60' of 1.64....... Track was not in the best shape as usual but i do have some suspension mods to take care of in the front end for weight transfer.... 11#'s of boost on this motor is only good for 11.2 im assuming unless i cut an ungodly light and 60' at trr which is not gonna happen..... Next round out will be for a better time and 60' and todd will be with me, 20+#'s of boost, meth, drag shocks and springs in the front should help me out alot :] and thanks everyone for all the help tonight!!

PB of 11.7xs twice back to back once we got a slight tailwind, I ran most of the gas out of the car, and it got slightly cooler. Which one of those 3 did it I'm not entirely sure.

I went 10.06 at 136 with a 1.40 60 still same set up as before but with 28in slicks, trex cam, 6 spd, and 150 shot. But my tailshaft housing from what i could tell is in a million pieces. I will be able to get a better look tomorrow. Both my fronts blew out while i was trying to get my car stopped too.
Does anyone have a spare set of junk wheels i can borrow tommorrow?
