Well the day came and i finally took my car down to the drags to see how she went. I ran a best time of 14.762@153.59km/h(95.44mph for the old timers
).
I set the car up running 28psi in the rears and standard in the front(35psi).
3/4 tank of BP ultimate and half a bottle of octane boost.
I really was hoping to run a low 14 and the only reasond i didnt i would say is my start.
60ft time was 2.199sec
Warmed the tyres up the usual way.
lined up, reved to 5500rpm and dropped the clutch.
there was heaps of wheel spin then 1seconds later the engine bogged down to 3000
not enough torque.
Im pretty sure the car would have been faster off the line with the old clutch as it used to slip a little and hold the rpm better, but gone is any slip now. Guess i just need to practice a little more
track temp was 18.3C/ 64.9F
Ambient temp was 15.0C/ 59.0F
Ill probably head back to the strip in about a month or so to try for a 14 flat. im pretty sure she's got it in her, ill just need to get the start right.
Ill let you all now how i go.
