The quadrant controls the leverage between the clutch pedal and the clutch cable, and the firewall adjuster allows you to adjust the cable manually as the clutch disk gets thinner or the cable stretches (which is why the factory quadrant is self-adjusting). That's a pretty simple explanation.

Well lets see...I've run much faster than you did with bolt ons and nitrous. So I'd say I'm a wee bit further than you. What did your GT500 run in the 1/8? Lets see the slip...
Keep believing that buddy 112>108 it was a trans brake/suspension away from blowing your times out of the water

What did your GT500 run in the 1/8 last time out? Can we see slips?

Stupidity at its finest.

I guess if I ran you on street tires... And gave you 5 car lengths... And shifted at 4000RPMs... And didn't use my power adder... It might possibly be a decent race.

ANY time you want to drag me, I'm ready.. I don't care what race it is... Dig, 20 roll, 80 roll, whatever...

Yeah, that's if that setup would have the same performance in the second 1/8th vs. the first 1/8th...which I highly highly doubt.

I took the Nittos off the wheels Friday. Text me if you still want them and lets see what we can do.
