Nocturnal, there is no short shifter for the MR unless you live near Works over on the West Coast. I do have Kartboy shifter bushings, but the underhood bushings didn't fit, and I didn't feel like modifying them.

EvoTio, one of the first things I was supposed to test was to see if the 7k lockout issue reared its ugly head, but that hasn't happened. Not only that, but I can make every shift whenever I want at any speed without even thinking twice. On my ACT, I got pretty good at shifting fast without thinking too much after getting the clutch rod adjusted enough, but it was never EVER this seamless. To be fair, though, my rod is still adjusted out like it was on the ACT. I haven't moved it back in to see if the same problems occur, so please wait for that testing to be done. I was so happy with the shifting that I didn't mess with it over the weekend during all the racing. Now, I have time to adjust the pedal back down and see if I get the dreaded 7k lockout. Btw, I don't notice the high clutch engagement on the pedal anymore after almost a year of dealing with it, so my frame of reference may be a bit off again.

 

Well keep us posted on how this new clutch works out for you.

 

Nice

 

I plan to.

It has much more abuse to withstand in the near future before I can make any proclamations, but it definitely impressed me during its first test.

 

Now you know how bad we got it @ LACR in CA lol ...

 

Sorta. LACR is half this altitude...

 

yes lacr is no where near as high but my car will not hold boost well on the stock turbo at that track. Still working on it though. Maybe tonight?

 

Yes LACR is not as bad as Bandimere, but I do agree on my boost not holding at that track. At sea level or close to it, I will taper to about 18 PSI by redline. At LACR my car will taper to 16 PSI by redline. Altitude does suck, I could only imagine how slow my car would be at a track like Bandimere.

 

It's good to have someone like Warrtalon up here to let everyone know that altitude does SUCK BAD. Clay's time is very good for up here, but seems bad in the big picture.

 

looks like you need a HKS Kansai intake manifold to suck in more air. get the optional Nissan Q45 90mm throttle body to go w/it. that should be good for another .5 tenths...

 

Whats the tracks altitude?

 

The problem is there is no air to "suck in" up here.

 

Sometimes, I wonder if you're dainbramaged. I would upgrade my turbo before worrying about a Kansai intake manifold and Q45 throttlebody. You must be nuts...

 

LACR is 3100, and Bandimere is around 5500.

 

Clay,
12.4 is honestly really, really good, I recall a post some time back where I was talking to you about what times you would run. I think at the time you did not have cams or alky and I figured you would run around a 13.0. I think you called me an idiot or something like that, so a 12.4 seems about on track with your current set up.

An acquantince of mine went 12.5 with a 100 shot on his full bolt on '04 ZO6 (Headers cams Intake 3.5" twin dumps) if that gives any of you low landers an idea of just how fast a 12.4 is in relation.

Good run, I hope to go knock out some low 13's hopefully a high 12 or something to that effect.
