It sucks because we would have made it into the low 8's after getting the tires figured out and upping the boost.

Two questions. First, why were you running 15psi on a built motor and 20G? Second, why are you running at the track? I thought you were waiting for your new clutch? It doesn't make any sense. What did your timeslip look like?

Two responses: First, why shouldn't I be running 15lbs on a built motor and a 20G. Second, I was running at the track because thats what people do to see how fast their car is. Are you unfamilar with why people modify their cars? I do have a new clutch, however its not in. We were surprised to find that the stage 3 clutch decided to hold. Third, Why do you have to act like an ass and question everything I do?

Simple. First, You said you had a built motor that was putting down 382hp. Why would you dial it down to 15psi when you ran your peak hp at 21psi? Even if you dial in your slicks at 15psi your going to have to make adjustments for 20psi. Second, Because if your clutch was not holding at the indy bash there is no logical reason to try and run it again. You said you already had the new clutch on order so why not wait for it instead of wasting money on runs with a bad clutch. You got lucky and it held, perhaps because you were not running as much boost, who knows. Third, I am very familiar with why people modify thier cars. What I don't understand is why you would take sensless chances with your car when you had a good clutch on the way. Now you have a good clutch but a busted tranny. Maybe you would have done better if you would have used the right clutch instead of risking it all on a bad clutch. Finally, I question what you do because you do a lot of things that don't make any sense or don't add up at all. Every time you post up a time from the track you never give us the timeslip results in order for people to give you advice on what you could do to improve. You've posted the results of one timeslip for a 15 second run and you didn't even give us the mph for that one. You say your trying to improve your car yet you seem to never have any dyno sheets or timeslips on hand to log any of your improvements. How do you expect to improve if you don't log anything? If you really want help from people on here then you need to give folks more input than just. "I ran this time", "I ran this horsepower" and then "I just broke that". It seems more often than not your just telling people about your car and not taking good adive that is given to you. It doesn't take someone who has been here for years to see that. You want some advice. Wait until you get the portfueler, wait until you get your tranny fixed with the new clutch, go to the dyno and tune the car, and then go to the track. That way you don't have all these loose variables when you come back wondering why this happend or that happend.

Ill use your lame number system... First, When I run on the dyno I topp out the injectors badly. Its really too much abuse for the injectors and for the fuel system. No you don't have to re-adjust the slicks for higher boost. You are not boosting off the line. We were dialing in the slicks simply for the launch. Second, I wanted to try and run the rest of this season with the old clutch and leave the new one alone. The new clutch is sitting on my garage floor still in its wrapper from CM. It only cost $10 to run. Im not out much. Luckily the old clutch held. I believe that I was slipping the clutch at Indy Bash which did nothing more but heat it up. Third, The old clutch didn't cause any problems with the tranny. Hell it might not be a busted tranny. We noticed today that 2 of the motor mounts are loose. We are going to tighten them up tomorrow and see what happens. The tranny still shifts and moves just fine. Finally, Check one of my posts in the turbo section, I post the timeslip. I log everything my car does in the on-board computer, but there is no way for me to transfer that information to the internet just to prove to you or show you exactly what im up to. If and when I do ask for help, youll know it. This thread wasn't started to ask for help on my transmission. Search my posts for the last year. You wont find many where Im asking for help. Im not wondering whats happening at all. I think you are reading in between the lines way too much and using your rediculous imagination to congure up ideas to attempt to attack me with. In other words, leave my shit alone for once. You spend so much time tracking my movements, its a wonder if you even work on your car. I dont see you posting anything about new advancements with your car, so why jump down my shit when I start talking about mine. I like to run even when Im waiting on things. I have an MSD ignition sitting on the floor. Now, I know I could have installed the unit last night rather than going to the track, but you know what? I wanted to go to the track.. Its not hard to understand.
