Finally rowed her into the 9's
Finally rowed her into the 9's The single digits have been eluding me for quite awhile. The 10.0's were heart breakers. Alot of people were trying to get me to put the auto in (almost gave in) by I really wanted it with the 6-speed.
The trans is bone stock with alot of abuse on it. Because of this I was very hesitant to power-shift (always speed shifted) it with the hp the car is currently making. Being so close to the 9's ,and with some prodding from my buddies, I couldn't resist.
Ran a string of low 10's on a fat tune. I added some timing,leaned her out, and let her have it launching at 6300rpm. Power-shifted every gear.
Came away with:
1.42 60'
4.169 330'
6.382 1/8
111.20 mph
8.286 1000'
9.881 1/4
142.51 mph
My wife came over to hand me the slip on the return road. She played it off well that it was just another 10sec slip. I almost crumpled it up and threw it in the back without looking at it. I looked down to see how she 60'd and was in total shock
. It's been my goal from the beginning and hitting it finally was a sweet feeling 
.
346ci, 9:1 comp, D1SC, stock M6, 12bolt w/3.73's, 3500lbs w/driver

Thanks everyone!!
It was a long road with alot of $'s and hours. I even managed to wrench my shoulder and neck driving that day but it was all worth it .
Yeah it does
. I see you've recently banged down that single digit yourself. Congrats!! Good luck on chopping some more time off that.
Here's the sheet and vid from the last dyno on 7-19-07. Tweeked a few things here and there but mph at the track has remained pretty consistent. Based on that I wouldn't expect the #'s to be much different today.

Cartek original design single disc, tick adjustable master, and a billet steel flywheel.
I've had this clutch in the car forever with tons of abuse and it's still going. I guess there's been some revisions to the design/material over the years but I've yet needed to try one of them out.
I just checked their site and didn't see any F-body support on it. Don't know if they still do or not. Guess it really has been a long time on this clutch
.
Yep, that's the fuel pump. Magnafuel 4303. Can't really hear it between the exhaust, mondo bypass valves, and the radio turned up to 30 in order to hear it over the exhaust and bypass valves

I have a couple questions for you. what gear ratio are you running and what size tire? I am really hoping to make a 9.9 pass this year with mine. managed a 10.5@136 last year shifting gears with a 10 bolt and 3.42 gears best 60 was a 1.8 Now I have a MWC fab 9 with 3.70 gears and some real tire under the back of the car. I also added Meth this year. Just need to get down to the track and run it.
