Pulled the stickers off and got em' mounted yesterday then a nice trip to the track. Unfortunately, I found out that the clutch is pretty much done. I would stage, get my revs up to 5K and the car would creep forward I'd then need to re-stage, get the revs up fast and dump the clutch. The car dead hooked but then would bog terribly only to pick right back up
At least I know these tires will hook!!!
Decent times even with a bummed clutch though! 13.2 @ 105
Nice times, you're pushing a little more RWHP than me with some more mods.
My problem was that I couldn't even stage. The whole rolling forward thing was driving me nuts! Luckily, new clutch is going in next week along with another nice goodie!
And YES, I realize this is 1 year old to date almost hahahahhaa
You guys running the et streets, what is it like with the radial (normal) tire up front and the et streets out back? I have always heard it gets "hairy" up on the top end? I plan on ordering the 17" et streets for my blown gt as I know they will hook for sure. I had the et street radials on my old na gt and they were great, but now with this car and the blower, I dont want to take any chances. So I just get nevous hearing how the car "moves" around on the top end, anyone wanna fill me in so I know what to expect, because I know the first pass I make I will be scared *****less not knowing what to expect. It will probably run 13's first pass
Does your clutch have any sings of slipping? What you describe is dragging. That COULD be due to a worn clutch disc, if all the lines are worn off and it is creating a vacuum and sticking to the flywheel, but it is more likely something else (bad pilot bearing, bad slave cylinder, air in the line. etc.)
When you say you went from mid 13s to 12.80s with the 4.10s, were the gears the ONLY change?
