I will be interested to see how it does as power increases. But I think its got some left in it.
Where did you find a stated 1.60 60'?
tman's slip shows 2.4.

I thought he referred to tman since he was replying about the clutch.
Badcoupe's time's I don't doubt for a second. I remember old posts from him and besides having a shop I think he used to do a lot of dragracing and regarding his 1.60 I remember him writing about how many cv joints and axles it had cost him

So is there a clutch that we can get that has enough holding for 500whp yet doesn't chatter like, like,...something that chatters a great deal?? Can't think of a simile but you get the picture. My 6 puk from before was great as a performance tool, but just not good for a daily driver. Reversing any distance was a bitch.

You just have to get used to it I don't thing reversing or such is difficult or a hassle with my 6 puck.
Even tough everything is lightened it's very hard to stall it by mistake.

i think Don corleone have a spec stage 3 metallic in his monster, and it seems to work very well for daily driving.

A 1.60 for a 60' is what 10 second cars run. He would have to have a full drag set ip in the rear. If he would go to that trouble why not also go to the trouble to make more power. And other than just getting a good launch I don't think he had enough power to do a 1.60 if he only trapped at 111mph.

I would like to see the time slip. It just doesn't make sense, look at dragtimes.com at something similar to our cars like an RX7, they are running tens with that kind of 60'.

Most of the top cars on this list have videos and this one does not even have a slip.




Edit: so I was reading back throught his thread and badcoupe says on page 2 his 60' was between 1.9 and 2.1 which makes much more sense.

Found this site and thought it was fun, its a 0-60mph calculater based on 1/8 mile mph and ET.

http://www.wallaceracing.com/0-60_equation.php

Mine calculated to 3.41 secs.

I was on the dragstrip with TPC supercharged 993 Carrera 2 (around 400 hp on the flywheel) and with just 265mm street Yokohama tyres 60' times were 1.78-1.80. Car had LSD gearbox. Best ET was 12.71 @ 179 km/h.

Just for comparison

Great site for calculators. My 0-60 came out at 3.27sec based on my posted 1/4 timeslip. Wonder how accurate this can be?

So according to one of those calculaters,

Based on my E/T my horsepower is 234
Based on my MPH my horsepower is 373

Hmmmmm....

For estimated HP, you go by MPH. Not ET

There's a good chance I will be back at the strip a week from Wednesday. Need a new fuel pump first and maybe some meth injections. Anyone else been to the drags recently?
