New Clutch = New Time

[BigRed460]

Track condidtions SUCKED!!!! Very foggy, crosswind, and about 72 degrees; but none of that matters because I still turn a new personal best!!! First I ran my mom's bike (honda rune 6cyl), it went 12.6xx on the second pass and she was happy, so I switch to the truck. A guy from work who has a z06 came out and want me to show him how to race(first time to the track). First pass we made he killed me, I cut a .001 r/t and ran a 13.043 and lost to his .782 with a 11.7. Then it got interresting, I took the next two passes, he made all the excuses in the world (missed gears, clutch slipping blah blah blah). I ran a 13.008 and a 13.105. He kept raceing and I parked mine(hey I am up by a race now). He wanted to race more agaist me after he got some practice, so we went again. He got the one by about a lenght(his 12.5 to my 12.947), after he missed a gear. Now we go up to break the tie, beat him on the whole shot... my .040 r/t with a [email protected], to his faster but losing 12.496. At this point I have the lead again and know I have his ass come monday morning in the break room so i am done!!!!!!

You ran a 12.7 and your only mods are the new clutch, forged tranny(please explain) and a x metal TB!!! No exhaust mods, no flash? Thats amazing. Great runs.

'07 The guy can't drive, he missed 3rd gear 7 or 8 times. His best time other than the 11.7 was 12.3... He tried to use every excuse in the book...

Yep, stock motor air filter pulled, x-metal tb(No gains right?), act clutch, dc flywheel, spare ditched, 1/8th tank of gas... Nothing special, I think I get pull a 12.6ish on a better night. The tranny was f-ed by the dealer trying to re-build it, so I sent it to six speed inc (in houston) and had them look at it, they asked me to do a full build because of the amount of crap that was wrong, i agreed.

Here is the basics, they added a few goodies...
Includes:
- T-56 Core Transmission
- New 1-2 Slider
- New 3-4 Slider
- New 5-6 Slider
- New Reverse Slider
- New 1-6 Forged Gears
- Carbon Fiber Synchros
- 3-4 Billet Keys
- New Bronze Fork Pads for 1-4 Gear Forks
- Steel 3-4 Fork
- Mikronite Finishing on 1-4 Gear
- Mikronite Finishing on 1-2 Slider
- Mikronite Finishing on 3-4 Slider
- New Main Shaft
- New Bearings
- Labor Included.

Mikronite extends the life of the transmission by more than double!

Big Red, great run in poor conditions. After the track re-opens maybe we'll cross paths on a good air night. Sounds like you've got launching and shifting down pretty well.

[wheredwhogo?]

congrats BIGRED.....you never fail to amaze me with the way you push your truck to the limits for being stock (for the most part)....take care and be careful out there....
