My car was tuned for race gas this time (C16) and if I go with anymore boost I'll have to convert to an 8 rib pulley system. I'm broke anyways so I wont be doing anything else for awhile.

Nothing was good about last night though. 60s were not good and my shifting sucked. I'm hoping that I'm in the high 6s in the 1/8th mile when I get consistent.

I haven't added that. Does it really ease shifts? Even at 7k+ rpms?

Justin was telling me that I might have to change the master something bearing which helps with the release of the clutch.

Justin must be referring to the throw out bearing/slave, its a hydraulic unit and is tied to the brakes IIRC

that CHE piece really helped me, however if you added the prothanes (still not clear to me) then not too much added (but some) to add the CHE unit

Should have bought a Supra.....you guys have a lot in common.

Yea, you need a clutch that doesn't release until the last second. The clutch in my car is either in or out, there is no slipping it. Bark the tires or stall....at leat for people that's never driven it. You want one that releases at the top. That way you can just bump it and change gears.

holy chit, you're still on the original clutch??? and sniffing 10's? wow, yeah a clutch upgrade and 26 spline input shaft would be my very next upgrade. Great driving man!

I can't believe you can't get sponsors to help you along after all you've done yourself.
