New PB at the drag strip

I went to my local tracks first test & tune of the year. I was anxious to go because I did a few upgrades since the last time I went. I added 150 shot of nitrous and a bunch of rear suspension upgrades. My first couple of passes I ran on motor to just get used to the track again and ran both a 12.1 and 12.2. On my first nitrous pass I quickly realized my weakest link of the car, the clutch. The clutch absolutely hates when I spray nitrous in first gear. So for the next couple nitrous passes I turned the kit on in 2nd gear. I didn't end up getting what I was hoping for but my best nitrous pass was 11.7 @ 129 with a 1.898 60'. I managed to get a 1.772 60' but my clutch decided to stick to the floor on that pass, that could have easily been a low 11 second pass. Oh well, its time to look for a new clutch that will hold up to all the torque I have.

This was my launch where I had the 1.7 60', look how high the front suspension lifted up.


Here's the video, it's cut short because you don't want to see the clutch smoke as it sticks to the floor.


My 11.7 @ 129 pass

10.9 @ 130

I think it's very possible once the new clutch gets installed and I put a bigger sidewall drag radial on.

I'm not a expert but I do see that happening- good luck.

How about 18 or 17in DR in the back?

You can pull a 10.7 with that set up. Given a good day and clutch, good luck.

I'm going with a 18" with a 325/45/18 Hoosier DR. I was going to go with a 17" but it's just way too much work and money.

If I get a 1.7 60' again and a clutch to hold the power in 1st gear I'm very certain I'll be able to crack into the 10's and at 130+

I was looking on your website for a new clutch and you don't seem t have any. Do you not usually stock them or just out of stock at the moment?
