11 second bolt on FWD

This is the last place I'm going to put this. The car is a 1990 FWD GST 5 speed with 160,000 miles. The motor is origional w/balance shafts removed, ARP's, MMHG, and new OEM valves and reground seats. The tranny is the origional w/open diff. Stock intake manifold, head, and throttle body w/no porting on anything.

Very nice. I can't even consistently run 12s. It does put a bright spot on us traction-retarded folk.

Yes I know. I have made adjustments and then doing some high boost tuning and lost the new clutch. So I'm ordering a new pressure plate and going to try it again when I get home.

Its not "gutted" if thats what you mean, but it is tastefully lighter. Its my daily driver. I don't run rear seats because I don't feel they are safe for friends. So I carpeted the rear end. The plastics are in place. I put in racing seats with 5 point harnesses for A: going faster drag racing and B: I flew out of my seat last fall in a 360 spin at an autocross on the stock seats and belts. I removed the AC because the belt tore and tried taking out my timing belt. I fabricated my own front and rear chrome moly bumpers for more room for plumbing and to lighten it up while still being safe.

Why not run an ACT 2600 and forget about the clutch slipping issues?
I have had the same PP in my car for three years. No issue.
