1.59 60 ft min mods.

Well I went to the 1/8th mile track yesterday just to try some new setups launching. My current best 60 ft time was 1.61 with the stock clutch. Then I put in the ACT extreme pressure plate with 6 puck disc and fidanza flywheel. I went to the track multiple times with it and couldnt pull anything good with it. I cant race because it locks me out of gears, and my best 60ft was high 1.7s. Well, I deflated my tires and filled them up with nitrogen. The results were.

1.71
1.64
1.59
1.63

Besides cutting better 60ft times, were a better ride, and noticed 1-2 MPG better just with changing that 1 thing. My mods are in sig, I cant wait to put in the Exedy stg 2 and hit the 1/4 mile now.

I had to lower mine to 5500 after going from the stock clutch to the ACT setup. I guess every track is different

It probably has more to do with your lighter flywheel. A flywheel is nothing more than a device that stores energy, it is simply storing less energy than your stock flywheel because it is lighter.

Congratulations for a 1.59!

However, 25 psi is just 25 psi wether you use Argon, Oxygen, Nitrogen, laughing gas, fart, ect.
