My Quest for a 10 second pass.

You might wanna try adding a couple pounds, MT reccomends not going under 16 i think.

Also, i think the clutch technique your using is hurting you on the radials. On the slick that will work, but with the radial you need to ride the clutch out for most of first gear to get them to work well. They are tricky with a 5 speed

Cam is definitly working, the whole car is working very well, my friend Paul helped me set it up and it has never worked that good at Lebanon Valley before, big thanks to him. If i had more passes i think i could have launched it harder, 2nd passt i launched at 4k, walking the clutch out pretty aggressive but not fully dumping it, and the car felt like it might have had a slight spin in 1st. I wanted to try 5k on the launch but didnt get a shot.

To put it in perspective power wise, last year at Atco when i ran the 1.49 60', the 1/8th mile time was 7.13 and the DA calculated at -237(GREAT air), last night at lebanon with a 1.60 60'. the 1/8th mile was 7.1x and the DA was 2333.

Drivability is better than the old cam, but i also have the megasquirt and a different tuner. I can lug the car down to 1500 in 4th and 5th gear, anything under that and it will buck. The tune needs a little tweaking but it is pretty good. For a cam that measured over .600 lift at the retainer, it drives really well.
