finally got a pass on video. Any pointers/advice from anyone for better times is encouraged as i am still relatively new to the evo world. This pass i only pulled a 1.9 60ft, i know for a fact tires are killing me (goodyear eagle gt 235/40), and i think the stock clutch has too much slip and not enough grab. I'm hopin by the end of october (with the cooler weather) i can touch the low 12s

 

okay, just realized video is not working....

 

Nice job. Video worked for me when I accessed it through YouTube.

From the sound of your launch, your RPMs dropped too much when you let out the clutch. So yes, either your clutch is slipping and/or you bogged. Do you know what your 2-step is set for?

Based on your DynoJet numbers, that is pretty decent run considering your tires and not being a purpose-built drag car.

 

Two step is set at 5k rpms

 

Do you have the ability to adjust your 2-step yourself? Try turning it up to 5500rpms. You will definitely spin those all-season tires through 1st gear, but you shouldn't bog either.

 

I'll be heading back to the tuner soon to add some timing since the temperate is getting cooler, and I was considering having him bring the two step up to 5500. Hopefully with some vht on the track, she'll hook and send me to a low 12

 

I guess I look at is as, I'm on the stock drivetrain and stock bottom end. I'm running an Exedy HD twin, but I would prefer it to last a while longer. And although spinning tires through 1st gear isn't going to get me the best ET, I would still rather my tires spin, than have my tires hook and send that shock through the drivetrain.
