It was about 56 degrees that day and the DA was 730ft-so pretty good.

I went back on the Sunday and and weather was back in the 70's and the car slowed down to a 10.7@134-so I lost 2.5 mph from the weather change.

I have since changed pulleys and I'm now up to 814 rwhp and 665 rwtq-Hopefully I can get back out there again before the track closes.

It's a lot of clutch slipping but I'm real impressed on how the factory clutch is working-it will be a shame once it goes-I'm getting really good at launching this thing.

I just put on a smaller pulley to boost low end torque so I went from 580 to 666 and horsepower went from 740 to 814-We will have to see how the 60ft's are now.

Thanks for the reply I'm going tonight for the first time in my car air won't be that good but probably around 1800 da . Anxious to see how it does . Your car is very impressive !! I'll bet it'll go 140 plus now!

All my years racing I've not see this formula, totally digging it. Thanks for sharing!

My first time out was only a 11.0@132-133. I was disappointed but happy nothing broke. Once you get feel for riding the clutch the 60fts start dropping and she get's going faster.

I changed a bunch of settings on how the throttle body acts between shifts and I feel that helped too. That's the only change I made from running 11.0@133 to 10.6@137.

Here is an 11.0 video-the day I ran 10.6 was at a rental so no video.
