somewhat good night at the track...

new best at low boost (7 psi)
13.5 @ 106 2.0 60 ft only clean run of the day.

then I left my light on in the car and drained the batt, this caused issues with the msd. Spark blowout at full boost sucks. Plus when I turned up the boost the clutch stopped holding anything past much more then 5-7 psi, rpms just shot up to rev limiter instantly, this quickly led to the beast not wanting to shift or go into gear at all causing me to abort all future runs during which I FINALLY got my launch down for new best and maybe record of 1.7 60 ft on the 5 speed

still ran many 13.5s 103-5s with this problem.

all in all it was nice, I knew the clutch was dead already.

ran many 13.5s @ 103-5 with 1.7 60 ft aborting at about the 1/8 mile due to tranny problems.

ran one 13.5 at 106 with 2.0 60ft, low boost clean run.

most of all, Im happy to have the launch down good 1.7s on the 5 speed OWNZJOO, who needs automatics. This was still with a little spin, so more to be had with new clutch and practice ...

5speed stays in teh car now, screw the auto swap!



btw we have alot of video from the night, I'll post them when they are ready.

Congrats on the times and especially that 60' time! Good to see that the 5 speed is staying too. That's more money that can go to something else.
