Thanks everyone
I do have launch control on it but with new tranny & clutch it was all over again just like the Mile event, no practice and just launch your a$$ off
Again, my goal was the MPH not the e.t. for now. With this new tranny the car goes up to 65mph in first gear Joe. Scott, the 1/8mph was 111 on Mid-boost. Glad you guys liked it. Now the new 60-130 test coming up with new clutch and set up.

awesome speed Art. But did I see a 4.13 60ft time
that can't be right.
If that is in fact the case
you might just get the fastest 1/4 ever if you can drop the 60t down into the low 2's high 1's. WOW! 150 is definitely in the near future.

Art,
I looks like you have gone to a 3:17-1 ratio first gear.
Two to four mm's of stroke will have you coming out of the hole like the new first gear was a stock ratio.
What rpm were you launching and shifting?

Great trap for a warm up run.
Very few 996 turbos trapping that high (anywhere).
Good luck with future runs and thanks for sharing even though it was not the results
you wanted !

LC is set at 5000rpm and shifting was at 8000rpm. I was just getting used to it until the radiator hose popped

But what ratio are you using for first gear? It appears with your first gear speed at redline of 68 mph that the ratio is 3:17-1 or very close to that.

Great effort with what sounds like a not so clean running engine. Seems to stumble some under load. Maybe its the video, but this engine should run real clean and not change engine note once the clutch is released. Sounds on the video the engine note drops not rising.
Get that thing tuned and you will be down that strip in less time.
It's all about doing it, testing and fine tuning.
Well done.

He's running a pretty steep first gear apparently, perhaps what you're hearing has soething to do with that?
