Unhappy finally new times

Well I made 5 passes last night. The best one was 12.83 @107.12 with a 1.91 60ft. That was my worst 60ft. of the night, best was 1.87. The track was hooking very well. Well this deffinately isnt what I should be running. I could feel that my clutch is slipping very bad, seeing that I am on a stock clutch disk with an lt4 pressure plate I guess im not suprised. My car runs good and sounds even better but, I cant even beat a cam only ls1 that ran a 12.4 Anyway what mph should I be trapping? My mods are in my sig.

Central IL should be sea level or close to it.

8.31 @ 85.71 mph After seeing the videos its clear that the clutch is shot. The car just looks like it falls on its face when it is ***** out. Its the green z28 in the left lane. This was the video of one of my slower runs but you can see how badly it is slipping. And I lose one muffler at the end of the track. I will post the link after its done uploading.

What was the tach needle doing? I can't see how your detecting clutch slippage thru this video at all.

On a stick car your looking for 330' numbers because tire spin is part of the game (just on the edge). The 330 numbers show that your car is excellerating and making power.

You should be trapping in the 120's with a serious head/cam combo, my lightened stock engine has gone 116.0x mph.
