Default I suck at driving

I went to Maple grove today and got two runs in, one was ok the other ruined my day .

1st run s16g at 22psi and launching abt 4k.

60ft 2.017
330 5.504
1/8 8.327
mph 86.85
1000 10.790
1/4 12.831
mph 109.96


Second run also at 22psi but launching at 5k

60ft 1.99
330 5.776
1/8 9.519
mph 57.81
1000 13.585
1/4 17.457
mph 56.85

Cluched slipped very bad in 1st and kept slipping in 2nd and 3rd so I just let the car coast. That pretty much just ended my day.

you should be launching at least at 5k for any run on an AWD car. I would even think 5500. And then slip the clutch, well once you get a new one that is, haha. But you should be able to pull a mid to low 12's on that.

I really wanted to end the season w/ a 12.5. Right now I'm searching to see whats a good setup to run. I'm thinking an act clutch/pp and fidanza flywheel.

Yea your launch rpms are way to low. Without a 2step id look more in the 6-6.5k rpm range... get a good clutch first lol

I have a 2 step but the 3 bolt rear will not hold up to that. Untill I get a decent clutch and a 4 bolt rear I'll use the 2 step.
