Most definitely! And after running 16.5's for a 18 months.......it feels really good. My RT's were horrid too....all over 1.0. ......beats the hell out of racing the GS...that was good experience but a waste of $$$
The next three......I feathered it up until I could feel it catch, then dumped the clutch. HOLY SH!T did the car just rocket off the line! I can only imagine what 5000-5500 RPM launch would feel like.

Yeah I was gonna say never dump the clutch on a awd drive..then you start to break shit...but good runs..get some better reaction times and your set..
you need to get the steel braid clutch line in the car and remove the ristrictor out of the slave here soon. It will really help the clutch life also.
On a side note good times! I ran a 13.9@95mph bone stock 1st pass 1.88 60'. At Hawaii crap hole racetrack! Second pass the clutch went up in smoke and I ran 14.1 @ 95 mph 2.1 60' So good job!

My clutch is toast stock (I got a $ off for each mile on the car off the showroom.... saved over $2000) I ran some 14.1's at 96 bone stock with the trashed clutch... then a 13.9 @ 101 on the same trashed clutch with an extra 70 HP
Cusco twin disk CF clutch is going in on the 26th

I launched at 3k on the first, 3500k on #'s 2 &3 and 4000 on #4
I think with a S-AFC and turbo back, I can break into the 12's.

I found one of the slips from a 13.6 @100 mph run. The race I got 13.6 @101 I lost to a funny car (ran 8.2 @169) and got a yellow slip that I couldn't scan.

Cool!
You can scan the yellow slip and then do a "negative image" of it so the numbers show up nice and clear. Trust me, I have a nice collection of yellow slips so I know they look funny when you first scan them
This last trip to the track is the ONLY time I have ever gotten all white slips at the track

Sac is OK. It can get hot at times and the track isn't as clean as Infineon. Wednesday nights the place is packed. I prefer to go on Saturday's for Test and Tune rather then hang out with 400 Civics and tegs and about 4 DSM's
