It wants to bog when you try to slip the clutch out. Its ok if you take it up past 5000k and dump it. Also it revs really fast so you can run through the gears faster. Its the bog thing that sucks for drag racing.

Well i launch over 5k anyways so i dont know if it would really make a huge difference.

i have a lightened fly wheel.....i think the 9.5lb one. part of my problem is i think the clutch with less than 5k miles on them is toast (act s/s). https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/sad.png the only problem i think with the lightened flywheel is that as fast as the revs climb they drop faster in between shifts too. kvn

Mine is lightened. I think there are 2 downsides, a little slower 60 foot time and wearing out the clutch in a huury. I THINK the slower 60 foot time is offset and then some by the rapidity of the wind up. The car revs quicker.



I think the lightweight flywheel has a lot to do with my clutch wearing so quickly. The 7,000 RPM launches of course, are totally innocent.



Dave I think the trick to eliminating bogging is launch higher. I'm not sure that's doable on drag radials. I only tried drag radials one day & I was not impressed. Maybe I will give them a try again this year. Tough to beat ET Streets though.

Yea ultimately I belive that your right Tom.I was out last night "practicing" burn outs and launches on some country roads. I seem to be doing better if i really light the tires up then dump it at 6k or so. It still does not hook up immediately although it's better than before. I will get some mt's but i don't know when. I am in the middle of a single turbo purchase and I will have to upgrade my clutch again(i just bought a act ss no more than 5k miles ago.) So i need to make the best of my nitto drags for the time being.

Did you guys get any of that bad weather last night? Midnight Madness was cancelled down here. We had tornado warnings and reported hail along the potomac and by the 301 bridge.

Yeah it was pretty rough up here.



I think my best 60foot time (1.59) was when i slipped my clutch at 6-7k quickly. It was slower then a straight dump of the clutch, but not a long slip. Ironically after that night my centerforce POS clutch couldnt take any more. The car smelled soooo bad of clutch after that night. I was really pissed off aboutthe car and the way it was running. I was getting Breakup and couldnt controll boost, and still ran a 12.4. If the car wasnt shitting all the way down the track I could have gotten into the 11's.



That was the same night tom ran his 11. It was funny because he was so happy about getting that time and i was so pissed at my car. It got parked after that night and the single turbo madness began https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/boink.gif
