OP your car has more than 4 mods but who's counting? Mod up! Your car does very good. Yes it was way more potential but so does that bro. I'll be honest it looked like more than a car but I'll take your word you seem like a good guy

**** dude....you are leaving alot on the table. With a cam your limiter shoukd be no less than 7k.....hell i shift at nearly 7k with a stock cam and will likely turn it harder once i finish up a couple things

Just rev it to 8k, according to hio it will just keep getting better. A full weight ws6 ta is 3500lbs. I would venture a guess your car with full exhaust even if the suspension isn't lighter is no more than 3400 with a half tank or less. Go to a scale once, I'm curious, maybe I'm wrong.
Also I don't care if you say you have a motor swapped or a heads cam ls1, it's not much different in my book, but nowhere near a bolt on car.

Well you should splain how much you think it helps. I mean you've had both right?
Btw....hows that auto treating ya?
I didn't say it saved my syncros....it helps save the faceplates tho. And it does help syncros also.
They're just butt hurt. You're car don't run bad for what you have goin on. A few changes and it will come to life real good.
Hell yea mang! Get on it!

You just said you had to fix your clutch 4 times in a span of 24k miles. So how long ago did you install this new light weight clutch? Also how light is your vehicle? Plus you had to drive it easy considering your 10 bolt went out then it was on its way out before you broke it again at the drag strip.

It's pretty well known a bias ply tire takes some of the shock off of a 10 bolt while reducing trap up at higher speeds.
He needs a MWC 9" like you and then give it hell

I put 3.73's in it, reused everything else.
Then switched to 3.90's. Still re used everything.
I didn't use loctite on the pinion nut and it backed off, ruining the gears and carrier. (My fault)
Rebuilt it then blew the carrier this summer. It only really blew once.

Idk....what's your dyno graph look like? I realize your lsa us much more narrow than a stock ls6 cam like i have but mine peaks at about 6400 and basically stays flat till he turned it off at 6700
No need to shift at 8k. A ls don't have to work as hard as a coyote to outrun one.
So you have bo clue ....that's what it looks like.
More wrong info. Hammer renewed his clutch to make the trip to mir just as insurance. It was fine. The other clutches he had was the issue.
I think this was the first 10bolt destruction. Neither of us has broke a 10bolt on bias tires. I don't think either of us has ran at the track on a bias tire.

Again the 60e is horrible yet you wanna claim a light clutch helps saves the synchros yet you have none. How can you make this claim when you have none? You also said the fp trans didn't help you yet the fp trans helps you shift faster so how disn't it help you run quicker?
Marc your logic isn't good here only hio crew logic allowed

Hamma fact is you hado to replace your clutch several times and all we wanna know is when was the last time you fixed it?

What logic? All I'm doing is simply stating how can you make an observation on how a light weight clutch saves the synchros when your car been hurt/wasn't driving it with the lighter clutch installed

:Please explain in your own words the relationship between the clutch disc weight and the effect it has on the dynamics of the transmission And transmission parts shifting at various rpm.

Again why are you tryn to help someone by saying a lighter clutch will help save synchros when you have none? Hell you tried arguing with a guy who sells performance clutches for a living and you said GM purposely put a heavy clutch in so it would wear out the synchros faster. Never mind they have to build cars to last 100k+ miles. I guess GM truly needs to ask your opinion on how to build a car bc the engineers they hired arent hio smart.
