finally got to run on some semi decent rubber! YOKY A008R Tyres. They had not been on a car in over 4 years.
and I should maybe add that I had a slipping clutch all day as well.
Damn sticky tyres that ruin other stuff

Updated! Nice little gain! But sadly didnt move a spot!!

So this means a new clutch to counteract the added grip now!?

Cheers :spoton:

Correct!
Just looking into a setup that will hold up to the launch's but still be usable everyday. I know I have to makes compromises but so be it. I still drive it to work everyday and drop the kids at school and stuff.
So thinkin a billet flywheel, sprung center button clutch and hopefully a decent pressure plate with billet face.
Should add that the current Clutch & P/Plate is a standard Holden 308 one with a slightly modified P/Plate to give it a bit extra clamping pressure. Just changed the baulk ring thingy.

Am pushing hard now to dip into the 12's with the 2.72:1 ratio and still in full street trim, stereo and all, on street legal tyres!

What do ya call a Hypo combo??

I wouldnt say that mine is that over the top and its more than capable of getting there!
Its more the idiot behind the wheel holding it back.
And no that does not open the doors to you all offering to show me how its done. :tease:

Gearing has more of an influence than going crazy on the donk.
You can have what is considered as a mild 308 with the right gearing and get into the 12's no probs.

308, Crane 286 cam, L34 spec heads, electronic ignition, 4 barrel carb tuned with 3:9 or 4:11 gears in the rear will see you there easy. Even 3:5's if your motors tuned well could do it.

Just got back from calder tonight. first time out with the rb30et.

This helped a little too! Boosts much quicker! I ran 13.87 on the very first run, then a 14, 15.0 (bad wheel spin!) then finally 13.81, still finding the best launch! fine line between bogging down or lighting the tyres up!

Good stuff Craig!
What do you reckon it'll do when it's got the 9" under there?

Not real sure how much the LSD will help, but i reckon with a bit more practice i could have run a 13.5 or something close. that run i reckon i slipped the clutch too far, should have got off it quicker. felt a bit slow but still did 13.8. Just need to get 60ft times done a bit.

There is something seriously wrong with the terminal MPH in the right lane. On the first time slip you are 1.5 mph slower than your opponent at half track, then at the end of the track you are 5 mph faster, despite the fact that he ET'd better ????? The second slip is similar. I reckon the MPH should be around 110 on your 12.4 pass and 108 or 109 on the 12.6 pass.

Are you using N2O on the second half of the track only ?

No Struggler no NOS, i was there that day and the car was avaraging that mph all day, im pretty sure he did the same numbers in the left lane.

Rick check you left lane timeslips.

Yep, I got 166MPH in the left lane at one stage.

No NOS, but I did race change 3rd and 4th (I didn�t do 2nd as I was losing traction) and gave it a bit more further down the track.
I really hadn't had much practice or even driving time with the car up to that day as I only just got it ready the night before and only had an hour or two sleep, so maybe I was stuffing up through 1st and 2nd up to half track, I was definitely losing up to a potential second in the first 60ft.

I also did a couple of dozen runs that day, with a GTECH on board which produced similar results, and the GTECH has never been wrong before.

http://www.ausmuscle...p?p=11547#11547

Struggler, you most likely already know all this anyway, so I don't mean to bore you, but because a few other people were confused about it, I�m gonna try to explain it. So here goes�

One thing you must remember is that the increase in velocity (acceleration) is not linear, it�s a curve and it�s by no means a nice pure curve, it is in most cases an irregular curve.
More irregular due to the car being a manual and I was suffering from a fair bit of traction loss and really only managed to get the thing up to boogie after the first half of the track anyway.

If you try to think of this linearly it wont make any sense.
A simple plot of the results in Excel using its chart function gives you this:

Posted Image

And Excel will try its best to create a natural curve. But in the real world there are irregularities in the real curve, ie changing gear etc.

In a graph of Speed vs Time the area under the graph is always the distance, as Distance = Velocity x Time
In this graph, the pink line (the Right Lane) will have more area under it and thus to achieve its 117MPH it would have had to travel further than the blue (Left Lane)

Posted Image

But the real graph would be something like this, with a few points slightly shifted, because it wont be a nice perfect curve like the computer will calculate.
In which case, you�ll find that the areas under both curves will be equal and thus both cars travelled the same distance, but got there via different rates of changing speed.

Rick.
