sort of a new PB
track tonight was sort of a success! nothing broke even tho it was friday the 13th(thank god) lol. I was hoping for a low 11 with no nitrous and I basically got it. my best of the night was an 11.23@124 with a 1.64 60ft. There's a bunch of little things I can do next time I make it to the track when I have more time. I had to spend more time then I wanted helping customers with their cars and what not. If I can get the thing to 60' like it should, shift a little cleaner and let it cool down along with icing the intercooler I think it's deff got a 10.9x@126 or so in it. I only let it sit for maybe 25 minutes or so between trying things.
So for now I'm content with it. Gonna try some new slicks as the ones I'm using are old and probably why it wont hook right away. here's a kinda poor quality gopro vid, dont mind my coworker yelling "sell it" lol.

Hey man, AWESOME.
Just make sure you still provide that customer service. NEWBS like us appreciate the wisdom. Trust me, it's tricky balancing both. A lot of us need peeps who do what you do, bro.
Been following all of u'ze guyz for years, man. Good stuff.

The new clutch is much better! zero sign of slip and seems to be easier to row the gears as when I watch the vids the shifting isn't too bad, my 2-3 used to be horrible, now i'd say it's average. here's a few more vids from the sidelines of my last run which was a tad slower, 11.28@124.

Oh yea, those tires are on their way out. Looks like a good bit of spin, still digging in pretty good, but definitely still spinning. Get that under control with some fresh tires and I don't see any reason why that car wouldn't run a high 10 something.
Thats good to hear about the clutch. Makes me want to go ahead and get that LS7 clutch you sent me swapped in. My throws are a lot like what you're describing.
