I am running close to 700 RWHP now and my biggest problem is the clutch. I just bout a new ACT XX Extreme that is supposed to hold 670 ft lbs. We will see. I was running a CM twin disk and it worked for about a year. I hate changing the clutch out! Talk about a PIA! I think I would rather just pull the engine and go about it that way!
I do see a 8.8 in my car in the near future.
Hey! do you run that yellow TII?
No, I don't I have a VR FD and a 82 Toyota Starlet 13b Turbo E85 but the drag Car is back home in storage (FL). The ACT are ok I used the same one in the starlet that you just bought the pedal feel is pretty hardcore being 600ft lbs. It has about 2 years on it. When I was back home everyone seem to like the mcloed clutch especially for that kind of power very durable. Even in Puerto Rico there's some cars that run that clutch as well. What's your best ET in the TII? IM guessing 10.2-10.3 with that 60ft and HP

I wish! It was cutting out at 30 PSI. I had my Haltech overboost feature set to 30 PSI and forgot about it. When it got close to 30 PSI it would stall until it went back down to about 15 PSI and I ran a 11.5.
Pretty sure it can get in the 10's as it sits now.
Was going to take it out earlier this year and that is when I found out I was slipping in 3rd gear. I finally saved enough $$$ to buy this clutch and will put it in soon and give it a whirl.

I live in Boise, so it's quite a ways from Seattle.
Yeah...seems like every time I go out to the track, I break something! Been through 3 axles and 1 CV joint, plus a bunch of other misc crap.
