Video: 7.1 @ 99.6 in the 1/8th

http://www.vimeo.com/5547580

7.1 @ 99.6 in the 1/8th is probably good for an 11 flat if I had a clutch that let me shift.

450awhp (Mustang Dyno)

0-60 mph in 2.9 sec

1.65 sec 60'

1/8th in 7.1 sec @ 99.6 mph

1/4 FAIL

Add another one to that list! I have the 6 puck and I HATE it. It's caused my Shep built trans to wear prematurly and grind in 5th, 4th, and lock out 2nd in high rpms.

Those are good times though! Get some 1/4 times so we can see how it is on top end!

11.8 @ 110 is the 1/4 with the lockout, ouch man. I've had a harder time shifting at 7900 in the Evo X on my GT30 turbo as well, only thing that worked for me was slower shifting but then of course your times aren't as good. I may just shift at 7500 and not worry about it as much, but the sprung 6 puck ACT seems to be a bit trickier for quick shifts above 7500 for sure. That and I'm just totally out of 4th gear by 115-116 mph with an 8k limiter.

My fastest run of the night was 11.4 @ 121 ... still locking out. The car has a 10 second pass in it, but not on this clutch.

I went with the Nitto's because they were very tall being 245/45/17's, MUCH taller than the BFG's, and I need that height for gearing (although keep in mind I have a Shep Ultimate Ratio tranny, so Evo VIII 3rd and 4th).

I wouldn't daily drive on these (or any) drag radials, they are very soft. I run 18psi and have no problems off the line building 20psi and launching at 6500RPM

I think the Nitto's give off to much wheel hop. it seems like in your video you had some wheel hop. BFG's are a better way to go they are softer.
