i was having problems all nite with my ram clutch
my best 60' was a 1.39 but missed a gear.i think the clutch is wearing out it was pushing thru the lites and not wanting to powershift
after a few missed gears i removed the clutch stop and that worked
for now till it wears down some more then it will need reshimed
not a good thing
thanks to carmem and dennis this thing is flying

and a big thanks to carlos for telling me how to launch this beast with the nos

Great Runs!
Ram Clutch
I don't think the Ram clutch likes NOS

I saw the runs .... unbelievable. You guys were tearing up the track. The track was really hooking all night even with the cool temperatures.

Now that is what a Z should be doing!! I kept seeing these slow runs with H/C packages, auto conversions to run 9's, etc etc.

That is what I'm talking about rowing the gears to 9.60's!!! Very very awesome!!

Awesome man. I guess you hung around and made some more passes.

9.64 @ 145+ is mind blowing

Congrats

i run a 10.5 c6 z repo with the hooiser 335/30/18 dr
you do not need a slick 1.39 with dr is good enough
to tear up parts. after the 1.39 i was trying to leave a little
softer

That's what I'm talking about hombre...welcome to the club!!!!!

Gosh, that freaggin' clutch You would have been able to clip some low 9.50's or better with some powershifts especially on that 1.39 60' pass

I've telling folks for years that a nice combo with a 100HP shot is all you need with these cars to run 9's and you are yet another example of that.

Great driving Mr. Rattg and congrats to my homies Carmen and Dennis for buliding yet another killer combo.

They let you guys race like that with out a cage? Were are not that lucky here in Dallas

As far as your clutch, PM or call me, lets see what is going on there. Mine has been good for many years with similar ET's and MPH but I guess I've been lucky.

Congrats again amigo and be safe

Thanks,
Carlos
