00ModGT

Im going to be going to Cecil County Dragstrip tomorrow and i bought some BF goodrich dragradials for my GT. I plan to launch these at 15-18lbs and around 3000rpm, possibly a little higher... My car has 41000 miles and has had a pretty easy life ( i dont get on it a lot, no powershifting). I have the stock clutch in the T-45 trans and have no problems now. I have ran a 13.4 with a 2.1 60' ... With these tires and possibly a better 60' what is a estimate on what may happen and what times can be acheived?? If my luck works out, i plan on getting around 3 runs within 3-4 hours with cooling in between. let me know what you guys think!!!

I think you should probably be ok with the stock clutch for awhile. Probably will tear it up eventually but i don't think you will break it this weekend.

BTW, be careful with the stock rearend and those drag radials, I have heard of them breaking a axle or two with a real hard launch.

00modgt, what mods you got done??

00ModGT

So far my mods are the following: Accufab throttle body and plenum, BBK cold air kit, 3.73 Gears, SCT 4 bank chip, Bassani x-pipe with cars, flowmaster cat back, UPR blue thunder shifter, Eibach pro kit, and thats it for performance wise....

not very mods for a 13.4 ESPECIALLY on a 2.1 60', must be one hell of a low elevation track

with a better 60', if a 13.4 really happened, then you could touch 13 flat

from what i have heard it is a decent track........its in Maryland for anyone who may want to know but this is how the timeslip went:
r/t .451
60' 2.12
330 5.76
1/8 8.76
mph 82.49
1000 11.33
1/4 13.49
mph 105

And the return lane and the slowing section of the track are horrible, but its at a low elevation. And this is just one of the timeslips i have many that say almost the same thing. I would like to get into the 12's with just maybe cams and suspension besides my other mods.... possibly

With that 60' and that trap speed you could almost break 12's now if u could pull a 1.8 or so 60'. I would be more concerned with your rear end than your clutch.

I think you will be ok. But stock clutch and 13.5 or lower, that might be too much for a stock clutch, well good luck buddy!

I think you guys don't give enough credit to the stock rear end, it's not a GM 10 bolt you know. The BFG is a good tire, but it's still a radial and will not hook near as hard as a slick, the tire should spin before the axels break. *disclaimer* I am not saying you have no chance of breaking an axel, just a small chance.
