Even though you did not have the problem with your clutch - that is not proof that this is not being cause by my clutch. Also you had Cusco this is Exedy





I only revved it to 8200 RPM last time before the new fourth gear. That was also only in 4th gear going through the traps. Now I shift at 7500 and run through the traps at around 7300

The only changes since last time I ran are

UICP
MAF Pipe
Evo 8 4th gear
Clutch

I would not expect these parts to really add all that much.

My Et went down by .15 and my MPH went up by .74MPH

The temps were about 35 degrees hotter this time around compared to last time.
My launch was also worse this time - I still need more practice with the new clutch

Considering everything, I am happy with the gain. Like I said with this same setup and only minor minor tweaking and a better launch I am confident that I can get into the 11.5's

i think with how his car is setup. with the build tran and better gearing. and lighter rims and rotors then me, since i had stock i have no dough that this car can go just as fast as me, if not faster.

what it comes down to is driver!

i told him once i tell him again when he is home im more then whiling to help him out and get him into the low 11s and even if he wants 10s. with what is done to the car is far more then my had. and also he keeps it very anle clean and up to 100% working order. my car was not like his LOL which if i keep my to how clean and stright it is my would of went couple .01 faster.

reason: bigger turbo then evo8= more power. car is all alinded up nicely= no drag on car. trany has the best gear radio for drag racing.

hands down it can be done.

so it is still a bit more then you, you were like what 29XX with you in the car. So I'm about 150 lbs more like you said before.

Since then added meth kit + 15lbs
Suspension - 19lbs
Firewall Sound Deadening - 8lbs
Total - 11

I have removed 11 lbs since last time

new total = 3100 - 11 = 3089lb

3089 - me(140) = 2949 lbs

There you go - Total weight without me is 2949
