Video of my car breaking and making a pass.

Here are a few videos of my car from last month. This was a grudge night so they weren't posting times on the boards. I ran an earlier time of 12.3@119 at like 11.5 psi but when I turned the boost up to 21psi my car ran a 12.3@92mph (2.3 60 foot) with me lifting throughout the pass from traction problems (Notice the low mph). I'll have my ford 8.8 rear end in this week so we'll see what happens.

Pass: http://www.quarter-mile.net/video/lo...aygrudge03.wmv

Breakage: http://www.quarter-mile.net/video/lo...aygrudge06.wmv

Anyways, just some entertainment.

I had just switched to a 6 puck clutch so I'm sure that played a part in my rear end breaking. I won't have any problems with my 8.8 though.

i only broke one rear. i am trying to break this one. haven't been able to do it. i did anhilate my tires though

i have a sintered iron full race disk..... talked to ACT basically they said its for RACE CARS ONLY. i can't get it to disengage at high rpm

thinking of going with another act 4 puck or 6 puck or racing beat 4 or 6 puck sprung. gonna see what the judge says

If you can't get in gear then don't you have a tranni problem?

it only does it at high RPM in normal driving its fine. also when i goto the line if i rev to launch with clutch pedal down and accelerator to the floor in first gear the car starts going forward! it also squeeks alot... clutch engages at different points depending on how hot it is. its basically one ofthe hardest clutches i have ever used and i loved my 4 puck and six puck........

oh yeah i did get a 1.71 60FT today that was good.

its kind of ironic the race clutch is fine in daily driving but i can't race on it LOL

check the pilot bearing
a messed up one
causes bad shifting

I recommend a sprung 4-6 puck disk
(clutchnet/masters)

I only broke the LSD. Mine wasn't too severe but I still managed to knock a nice size hole in it.
