Jeez what happened? I might borrow a friends DRs if I go again, but I just really don't want to break ANOTHER rear end.

Agreed upon all accounts.....which is a sad thing. Maybe I should have put "my car is the fastest thing ever" in the first post as well. I'm sure people would have ran with that. Next time I beat a goat or a Mustang or another LS1, I am definitely including that in the post.

Keep the clutch fluid clean and you'll clutch will be much happier with you! I bleed mines through the reservoir every 2-3 runs because believe me, it will need it that frequently if you're racing.

I forgot to mention, a turbo 350z ran a 15.2 He blew the tires off pretty much past the 1/8th. Daddy's money E46 M3 ran a 14.2, and a cammed 3v ran a 19.8...missed 2nd and just threw it in 5th. Don't know what he ran the rest of the night.

I did it before we left for the track. Didn't help obviously.

LOL these cars need it after every 2 runs at the minimum. Like i said, I bleed mines when I race it, in between runs. It helps me a lot, still on stock clutch

It was **** after ripping 2 gears on every run. I'd need to change it between shifts . Oh well, I think I'm just gonna hold off on getting a clutch until I can get the Tick master along with it, so hopefully thatll be around tax return time next year, since i plan on getting wheels & tires this winter.

4. Could have had a 5th, but after the clutch acting up and my inability to get it off the line right, I said **** it and went home.

12.66@112
13.1x@112-blew the tires
12.88@112-bogged
13.1x@107-missed 4th

The tick mc is just awesome. My clutch bites x10 harder I forget it's still the stock clutch but I'm reminded after a good run and the pedal is stuck half way up from the clutch getting so hot lol give it a minute to cool down and abuse it some more

What clutch are you thinking about getting? I'm leaning towards a McLeod twin with the power I will be making soon...

The title doesn't make sense. Both cars are slow.

Your car runs hard man! The thing that just baffles me is the turbo 350z. Honestly if you're going to throw a bunch of horsepower at the car at least build up everything else to handle it.

What tires were on your friends gto? Sounds like he's running something craptastic like when I tried tracking my car on Fuzions.

O you know race all weekend and decide to drive it home and a turbo eclipse wanted to have a little run. Couldnt resist and let him have it and jam 4th and a little noise and had to drive slow all the way home. I am thinking it is the TRU CRAP in the rear all muffed up. drives fine until a slight hill and put it under a load and a bunch of grinding and hella vibration goes on.
