Mike - radials will come once the slicks are toast.

Doubt I have any mph left - It's almost on the limiter thru the traps. Might have to go 3.70's or 3.89's :x

60' is my biggest concern - I tried leaving off idle, 1500, 2000, 2500. 2500ish was the best 60'

But it took a shit ton of time to get the m6 to leave - so I'm not expecting 1.3's just to happen.

We'll see what PTC says

Just going to a radial will add 1-2mph. Do you know what the car weights by any chance?

Scales never open at the track - it's a fat biotch

No monies for radials - until I'm sure that I'll have a job after January

600rpm shift extension on the gas......as well.

[1BADAIR]

highly doubt it will go 1.3s. Did you log it? whats the rpm at like 1mph?
How did you check slip , did you watch TCC slip at the finish line

[Nocooler]

The 2 logs I saved:

3377 @ 1mph 100 shot
4037 @ 3mph motor

TCC Slip was calculated - forgot you could log it - I'll take it for a spin to take and log it and see where it is.

[1BADAIR]

they usually want slip at like max rpm or at the stripe but it does sound rather loose when the spray comes on

[Nocooler]

Tight at the beginning and loose at the end..........

I'll talk to PTC and see what they say.

Here is the slip breakdown for the video above:

60- 1.604
330 - 4.541
1/8 - 7.00
mph - 100.23
1/4 - 10.897
mph - 126.40

Compared to
60- 1.549
330 - 4.463
1/8 - 6.867
mph - 101.39
1/4 - 10.653
mph - 131.73

Talked to Tim @ PTC this morning.

He want's it back - they are going to change the fin angle to 0 to drop the slip and put a 21 blade ported stator in it to get this sob out of the hole

[DETROITMUSCLE]

awesome I am confident they will do what it take to make it right, sometimes its just not so easy to nail it on the 1st try.

[Nocooler]

Tim admitted that my gearing could contribute to the tightness off the line.

We talked about the pro's and con's of changing the gearing to 3.50, which would load the converter harder and flash it higher. We both decided that it'd still be inefficient on the big end - and decided that we'd start with the converter.

You make sure to tell him your gonna put the big boy jets in it at the end of the year too??

He's well aware that I need the slip in the 6%-8% range to make it through the traps

[kammi10]

well first thing, get the converter fixed, second get rid of the slicks, 3rd you have a ton of room for improvement especially in the suspension dept. you should be easily out 60 footing what you did with the manual trans.
