I know. But when you set a goal for yourself/ your car, it's still disappointing to come up .06 short lol

im sure it would some, but i think a 1.7 60' is possible with a healthy clutch and a good launch. im pulling 1.8s and slipping the clutch. if i can get a clutch to bite hard off the line, it'll help out tremendously. big reason im realllyyyy wanting to switch to the southbend 6 puck drag setup.

That clutch should do the trick; looks nice! Do you know how that setup is supposed to be for DD, etc.?

Redline06 here on the forum DDs the kit and says its not too bad. i dont really care lol. i just want something that bites off the line and will not slip at all.

This is a video showing how bad my act clutch setup was slipping at the track.


slippage will hurt trap speed A LOT. i am very confident that on a cooler day, and with a healthy clutch she will trap 109mph+

Well had my wheels up on craigslist as a feeler, with kind of a high price, not really expecting anyone to buy them outright.. sure enough. someone did lol. so ordered a new wheel setup along with brand new tires. nothing crazy. and some of you won't like it. but it will look better in my opinion.

also installed my evo-r spoiler (had 0 problems, again, with Jay. only good experiences with him so far)

Thank you sir! However, look has changed, yet again.. Riding on Varrdogs now. I love the silver face. 18s this time around so they're not as heavy as the 19" ES6 i had. On top of all that, with the leftover money i was able to purchase a couple things that you will see here in a couple weeks when they come in.
