hey guys, well its been a week, my track is having a REALLY big event tomorrow so it was packed, more than twice the normal amount of people. i brought the Z out there and after a few hours of waiting, i got one run in..
problem tonight is that my tires had 9.5 pounds of air in them, i would have filled them up but the place where the air is at the track was blocked by a million cars. so i figured i would just try it out...
i revved it up to 5500 and dropped the clutch, LOL it bogged like crazy, i have in car video and out of car video, they are both really good so i will post them up on sunday as soon as i get back into town. so anyways, bogged really bad, then, and wait till you see the video, the low pressure in the tires was driving me into the right wall, i was seriously about a foot from it, its all on the vid. but i kept in it cause i knew it would be my only run, i think i let off a bit in second cause of the wall. i will see if i can hear it
went though third , fourth and got deep into fifth this time, way more than ever, but the clutch just slipped through 5th and the car was swaying really really bad. i pretty much got off it before the traps but i am not exactly sure where, im sure you can hear on the in car.
i am going back next wed to get a clean run in, the car is running very very well. it was all at 16.2 psi, i ran the same settings as the other night but the weather made it boost a bit more.
cant wait to go back and get a clean run, this one was just scary, 9.5 psi in the tires at 130 = S C A R Y..

nice. perhaps teh bogging saved the clutch for a while. it didnt have to slip as much off the line. Maybe you should use that technique to prolong clutch life for your last few passes.
do you have any way to lower boost in 5th?
