for a street/strip clutch the spec 3+ is pretty much f t w. and do the tick master, it makes a HUGE difference.

i think i saw you run. you were on slicks no? you got outta the hole pretty damn good, but then i was like wtf! lol.

there was some guy with a blue camaro on nittos? talking about how hard his heads cam swap was and how he flycut? but then he ran like an 8.1....

I think that blue Camaro you're talking about is the guy who started the thread.

Talking about how hard my head cam swap was??? Where the **** were you? I said it wasn't bad at all and I worked a couple of hours a day on it while going to school and finished it in 4 days. So I don't know what crack you're smoking. Btw they are stock 241 heads pretty much. I didn't see what you ran and you never came up and said **** so

yeah i was on et streets, i guess they were just hooking too good for the stock clutch, the only mod i have as far as performance goes is loudmouth 1, i was dumping it at five and a half, the first one hurt it pretty bad, the second launch just finished it off and it was slipping horribly.

5k + stock clutch + slicks =

5k + good clutch + slicks = possible rear end

im not exactly trying to start **** here, but to be honest if you've had the heads off the car and fly cut i think you'd be making enough power to break 8's. what was your mph again?

really, im just curious. sorry if it came off in a dickish way.

I fly cut because I did have the heads off and wanted to be safe and in case I wanted to go with a bigger cam later. My mph was 89.62. I couldn't launch higher than 2k since I started spinning after that and if you saw my later runs you might have caught that. You did come off as a dick as you might have thought. So what were you in? Please don't be like the almoststraight *** and say you're putting together a stock beast.
