Well I took the car out to the 1st opener day yesterday at firebird raceway here in boise idaho. Long day fighting my act 2900 clutch with the street disc, the disc has well over 50 passes on it so I expected somthing to go wrong with it.

My 1st pass of the day I launched the car and felt ok through 1st gear, grabed 2nd and the rpm's just held rock solid at 8500rpm, let off 3 times then grabed 3rd, same crap, held rock solid at 8500rpm, clutch was sliping like a mad dog, so I let off at 1/8th mile.

2nd pass of the day I said the hell with it and just roll it out and mph the monster down the track. I idle launched it with a 2.5 60ft haha. reset my MPH with a best ever at 11.9 @132.89mph!! on 26lbs of boost!!! Stock intake manifold, stock throttle body, 17" rims on 45 series tires, open center diff this time.

On the AEM log I was pulling 8 degrees of timing in 4th gear due to the head slightly lifting cause some knock (ya ya I know stock head gasket with arp's) So I think if the head would have not lifted and aem pulled 8 degrees I think it would have gone anywhere from 135-137mph.

here is my slip times

r/t .468
60ft 2.508
330ft 5.734
1/8th 8.165
mph 104.83
1000ft 10.224
1/4 11.932
mph 132.89

So new clutch disc is on the way along with a new cometic metal head gasket, and then I will go back out and get my 10 sec slip. Damn only if the clutch would have held up so I could have launched the damn thing. Oh well, I was excited as hell to see that 132mph trap speed at only 26lbs of boost.

Mods are in my profile.

All and all I had fun on my 132mph pass, car is 3150# with me in it, daily driven with about 900 miles a week.
 
Damn, that kind of time with a 1G daily-driver DSM. :thumb: Major props, and gives me something to work towards eventually.

Awesome!
