Likely never now that I live above 5000' elevation, but I'll sure be trying. I lost 45whp peak, but up to 60whp on the top-end, which is where we spend all our time on the drag strip. I think I will have to shift earlier since my powerband has moved back closer to 5200rpm. That will work up through the 3-4 shift, but with my MR 6spd, 4th gear is going to run out of breath at the end of the track. I might have to shift to 5th, but that knocks off a tenth right there.
I've added cams, some Buschur ported stuff, and a full retune on alky, so we'll see. No one here expects me to even hit low 12s, but I'm shooting for 11s.

Yes, I drive normal on a daily basis and don't treat the clutch poorly, but it gave out after all that racing abuse. It did give me problems at the beginning with the whole 7k lockout thing, which sucked. I then adjusted the clutch rod, which allowed me to shift at 7k again, but put my clutch pedal up really high, which made driving annoying. Then, after a while, the lockout came back, so I had to adjust it again, but I ran out of threads, so I couldn't adjust it any further. Shortly thereafter, it started slipping.
