^^^ I agree....I think Arnold's great set up is what's getting him that 60 foot...I could dump my clutch at 2700 rpm, but I just bog. I bog if I come out lower than 5000 I need to keep it above 4000 or it'll bog. That's my big cam with factory heads I think.

When I go to the track next time I'll also be wearing skinnies, New Phadt Trans and Motor mounts and an 25% ATI underdrive pully...
On the downside, I'll be back to my old stock clutch and flywheel since I haven't gotten any resolution on my Zoom yet...
Wow, Congrats!

Arnold,
What rpm did you have it set at when you launched? I heard a reference to 2,700, is that it? I've always had to come out like Joe_G, somewhere above 4,000rpm for sure and usually closer to 5,200rpm... I guess that makes sense though since I got my launch tips from Joe_G. Thanks Joe!
What were your 60's before the 2 step?
What shocks do you have in the rear?
Do you have any install notes you'd like to share, mine will be here tomorrow...
Thanks!
Oh, when are you going to MIR next?

Guys i Was Worried about the cats also at first but that is why I do not matt it until the second light is coming on . This keeps the fuel from loading up as much. As far as between the shifts the clutch is only in for a split second . Especially if you power shift .Remember this launch controller is just for the track so you will not load fuel in the convertors that often . .

I spoke to Arnold...2700....that's what amazes me. If I launch my car at 2700 it bogs like nobody's business. I have to launch at 5000+ and cannot let it bog below 4000 to get a decent 60 foot. But Arnold has a smaller cam and much better heads than me. I think he dyno'd at 490/460 or something like that.

Double A, are you going to MIR this Sunday, it's the last chance to best your record. I finally finished putting mine all back together now, so I'll definitley be there...
I should also have my 2 step all hooked up by then as well.

^^^ dudes I wish I could be there!!! I went last Saturday to the 1/8 and got 7.3's and 7.4's and low 1.6's without trying and shifting slowly with my new trans....I'm loving these 4.10's.
I hope both of you go - keep me posted.

One of these days I will.Right now we're moving our business to a great new location so it's BUSY for me!

That said...I just might be able to sneak away super early Friday morn for a little racing - it's the traditional Citrus Nationals test day and the weather is currently calling for 63 degrees for a DA of 354...that's as close to mine shaft air as we get down here.....

Care to guess some times for Double AA, yourself and me?

Double A, I think your clutch isn't releasing after those super launches. Your trans isn't going to like that for long IMHO. I'd suggest flushing the heck out of your clutch, driving around a lot, then flushing a bunch of times. Might also consider changing your trans fluid to some super fluid like Royal Purple or Amsoil. If you can get your clutch to release and your trans to shift, 10.9x for you.
My DA might be good enough for me to tickle a 11.1...if I can muster the courage to beat ony car. I finally think I've got a decent trans and I'm timid to break it again!

I mean, if the video above is you, then I have one question:
Are you sipping some tea between your shifts?
All in all, great runs, you have all the tools to run some 10's and possbily 10.60's with some skinnies.
Thanks,
Carlos
