Couple first runs at the track
Well I found out that my stock clutch with just about 50k on it is unlaunchable, it just cant hold the power off the line what so ever. I mustered up some lousy 2.0+ 60fts. I was obviously not expecting anything from the ET after that but I wanted to get some decent traps.
I went on April 6 and only got in 3 runs, [1st I missed 2nd gear, the other the clutch was slipping in 1/2nd so I just coasted down] 3rd one I went 12.4 (left slip) with a 2.0x.
_________
Today I went and got 2 runs which were near identical, the ticket blew out the window on the way home of the first one, the 2nd run I went 2.3 60
(had to get out of it in 1st then get on it again) and got a whopping 12.7@116. It was 68degrees out. This is on 93 octane with 22psi, the same as I drive the car everday, I havent even adjusted my boost on the Hallman in weeks! Im happier with this trap but I think I can do better and obviously when I get my ACT I can work on that ET 
The most impressive thing I saw about my top end was that the other run (no slip here) I went only 87mph in the 1/8th yet I went 115.1 in the 1/4, thats a 28mph gain!

Don't be surprised, though, if you get MUCH better ETs and slightly LOWER traps after the clutch install.

I should have went to the track when it was 40 degrees out and had more life on my clutch so I could at least abuse it once with the 6k launch control and ran a good ET

Yeah with your new clutch your 60 foot will drop dramatically. You will probably only trap 114 or 115 with your improved 60 foot.

We'll see. I dont have really much track experience, I was trying to look at 1/8 mphs compared to my traps but they seemed to be inconsistent. For example. in beginning of April one of my runs I completely missed 2nd gear, got it in, and went 89mph in the 1/8th... 113.7 1/4 with a 12.9. That run I actually had a 1.8 60ft! Figures I missed 2nd that one time I get in the 1s.
I expect to get a cluctch sometime in the summer because I was going to do methanol injection however, I really want to run the car on straight pump with my current setup and hit some 11s!
