OK, I've got an issue. Scraping/ chattering sound. Maybe the clutch. But it doesn't do it 'til I've run it a bit. More noise when turning left, less when turning right. Can feel a vibration through the gas pedal, but not through the shifter, or clutch. Transmission mount seems okay, and engine mounts "look" okay.

Any ideas on what it is yet?

haha I know, I just hope its not to bad, if it is I can always get the regular magnaflow mufflers but I figured Id try something different. Could always put cats on it if its to loud as well.

You up for putting that on next friday or saturday depending on when you have free time? It should be here before then.

Seems to be coming from the tranny, not in back. Happens whenever driving , just more when turning left. Thanks, I'll take a look.

if it's only when turning I would look towards the rear also..... They can be tricky as the vib will be felt all up the drive line.

You only need a rollbar for 11.49 or faster.

I just thought that I once read that if you had a roll bar you needed the 5 point harness. Nothing to do with the speed just the fact that you have a roll bar. I could be wrong that is why I was asking if tech said anything. Couldn't find the info on the NED website like they used to have. Would have to consult a NHRA rule book.

I would start looking at various bearings. Like the drive shaft U joint or a possible wheel bearing on the front or rear axel shaft.
If you can grab the driveshaft at the joint and move it around slightly then that could be the cause. For the front wheel bearings, put in on jackstands and grab the wheel and try to move it side to side. THe wheel shouldn't have any give in it. If it has give it usually means it loose and in this case doesn't need to be tightened but replaced.
If that isn't it then try driving the car for a litte while then touch the rear axel near the brake backing plate and if one side is HOT then the bearing on that shaft is bad and needs to be replaced.

My flywheel is finally going to show up on wednesday. Placed that order on the 8th.
Took the car to get a alignement yesterday so that is taken care of. Doesn't idle for shat right now but still runs hard and the boost comes on strong.

You just have a roll bar, correct? Then you don't need the 5 point. If you had a cage then you would need the 5 point and a window net.

ok good I was thinking oh crap not something else I need to get before I go to the track, they did not say anything about needing one when I went to tech anyway.

I do plan on getting a harness at some point

Ok, thanks, I'm beginning to wonder if maybe the front brakes might not be releasing fully. Just seems that if it were coming from the driveline, I'd feel it in the shifter. Still haven't had a chance to check everything, maybe today.

Look here, it's IHRA, not NHRA sanctioned:

So far, so good with my CF clutch. It feels a lot like the stocker as far as the pedal effort is concerned, maybe a little easier if anything. The clutch has not had too much chatter at all, and I can feel the clutch grab hard when it engages, while still having the ability to ride the clutch a bit. CF says to break it in for 500 miles without exceeding 3000 rpm's. As you can imagine, I have not seen WOT or any boost yet this year, so I feel like a crackhead who hasn't had his fix in awhile. I have 150 miles left to go, and then all hell is gonna break loose.
