Going to be taking my car to the track finally

This weekend I will finally run the 1/4 mile with the EVO. I recently got a Tilton Twin Disc Hybrid clutch and it grabs like a ****. I don't think I will be able to slip this clutch at all. Thats how I was launching before on the stock clutch, it worked great for 21k miles. I run a MSD DIS-2 so I will be able to setup launch control. I was thinking about setting it to around 6k rpms and retard the ignition to obtain about 15psi. Would this be enough to get some tire spin so I don't break stuff?

Good, finally. Look forward to seeing 115mph traps on straight 93oct. I imagine the launch will take some time to figure out, but you'll get it eventually.

Going to be running race gas most likely and boost at around 25psi, so I should trap a little higher I hope. Took the car out tonight and did a few 7k flat foot shifts from 1-2, 2-3, 3-4 and it worked flawless. The clutch is amazing it grabs so damn fast.

I don't think it will be to bad. With the track properly setup and low tire preasure. Some tire spin is better than breaking a tcase.

Why the race gas? You have the opportunity to backup your Dyno claim on 93oct, and you have an alky kit. Why are you still not using the alky kit, and are you trying to win something by going with the race gas, or is that just to see how fast you can go?

Why are questioning what I want to do with my time or car? Why wouldn't I like to get the best possible time while going to the track? I am not going travel an hour away, spend some money and not run at my full potential. Why are posting useless information and not contributing to my original question? Instead of the Truth Squad avatar you should have "The Inquisition". I think it fits you rather nicely.

Why the race gas? Why not? What does he have to prove especially to you?

There have been a lot of people on here waiting to hear real results of a tilton twin non-carbon, myself included. Im sure thats the main reason of the post. Go find a nother thread to troll in.

Whoa, go find another thread to troll in? WTf? I just asked a simple question. There was much speculation after his dyno results at CFT as to how legit those are, since the numbers were very high for a Mustang Dyno on pump gas (no meth), so it would be pretty smart to do some pump gas runs first to show they are legit (or not). That's sort of the point of the Truth Squad. People boast about their dyno results, then we try to make sure they are legit so little newbies don't get suckered into thinking they can make the same power with the same mods if the numbers are inflated. If the numbers are spot on (in your case, 357 on a MD is near 400 on a Dynojet), then we make sure to let everyone know to follow your magical mod path, since it can make unprecedented amounts of power on pump gas without meth. That's why I'm inquisitive, and I don't know why you aren't.

Hey, I do the same thing I'm suggesting all the time...I do my first run or two on pump gas, then I toss in the race gas and go crazy. Sorry for asking. I didn't know there would be such a visceral reaction to such a mundane question.

Joey, I'm not sure how anyone can contribute to your question without intiricate details about your tires and what PSI you plan on running. I have _FAR_ less power than you, yet I light up all 4 Advans if I launch as high as you're going to. I would assume you will spin like crazy...not just spin a little.

Warrtalon always has alterior motives. You think if you actually would be who you claim you are, then you would probably be a mod already. Unfortunately, part of your job description now is to try and discredit FL dynos and try and force people to test their cars against yours. Good Luck with that. There are plenty of threads that show that the MD reads a little under a dynojet reading. I am thinking the only one that cares is YOU. So if you do not have anything constructive to the thread to add, find another place to call home. Maybe in the Dynoflash forum.

Again, not sure where this is coming from. Why would I be the only who cares? It's not about comparing with me; it's about comparing with everyone in the country. I don't know of any threads showing that the CFT MD reads lower than a Dynojet. I've seen one thread proving it reads the same, but definitely not "plenty" claiming otherwise. All it takes is proof at the track, and for some reason, not a single person has bothered to back up their claims at the track. This boggles my mind. I'm sure there are plenty of people who would like to see how well the MAFTPro works when at the track, and plenty more who would like to see how legitimate the CFT dyno claims are.

Why are you telling me to find another place to call home? This is the Drag Racing forum, and I do a lot of Drag Racing. I gave my constructive response and am waiting on details concerning Joey's tires (type, size, mileage, psi???). Contrary to what you're claiming, it sounds as if YOU have the agenda if anyone...I just want to see some results to backup dyno claims. Is that so bad?

it doesn't take a whole lot of common sense to see that the CFT dyno is obviously reading higher than it should.

Back on topic I run Falken RT-615 255/17. I plan on dropping the tire preasure to around 20 psi. I have a feeling I will only get one or two chances to get this launch right before something breaks.

I agree that it doesn't take a whole lot of common sense to realize that, but people continue to hold on to the belief that it does read like a regular MD. That's all.

Anyway, with 255s set to 20psi, I think you will get some pretty good traction. How about starting at 25psi or so just to make sure the tires spin. 20psi with 255s may not spin and cause a bog or a break. I finally was able to get traction en route to some 1.6x 60's when I set my tires at 22F/24R.

I have a hard time believing you will spin 4 255 profile tires at all. I don't and I have the same tires. Joey, how many times do I need to tell you not to roll through the waterbox!
