Default New Best!!! Finally 11's!!!

As you can see in my sig I have a Spec Stage 3 clutch, built rear and I'm running 28x9-15 M/T ET Drags on the stock 3650. Well I went out last nice and decided I was going home with a nice 60', or a broken input shaft.

DA Was: 2574 ft.

So first run out I took it up to about 4700 RPM's and let it go. Bogged a little, but I was shocked to see a 1.77 60' and the 11.89 ET.

So next run I took it up to 5700 RPM's and got the 1.62 60'. Only problem was just before the 1/8 mile mark (as you can see on the slip) I got a little out of the groove started spinning and had to let out of it. Still ran the 12.01, I think if I coulda stayed in it I woulda definatly been in the 11.7's. You guys think I coulda made it there?

Last run was pretty solid, launched at about 5500 RPM's. Car launched a little weird and the tires shook.

All-in-all I was very pleased with my nite out. Espescially since I was able to drive the car home. I think the car gods where looking out for me and my input shaft.

I do love the clutch, feels great on the street and strip. Only problem is if I launch too hard on the slicks I run a chance of breaking the input shaft. Clutch is pretty aggressive.

I had SPEC3 for over 100 passes with 4.10's and drop clutch launches on 28 slicks. Never broke my stock T45 input shaft. My synchros were messed up from the power shifting, but when I rebuilt the tranny, the input shaft was OK -its pretty tough.

I replaced it anyway, thinking that it might be twisted. But if it is twisted, it must be very very subtle, cause I can't see any twisting of the splines with my eye.
