yes possibly the clutch is a problem  has gained 6mph but I lost 2 teeth at the 60 it slip off the line most times tonight but last week it was killa will have to wait a see next time also there was a supercharged manual xr8 there ran a 12.7 @115 mph

Sorry to hear that about your gearbox, I know how your feeling having transmittion problem myself.

You views are interesting about the clutch possibly hurting your mph.

Get ready for APS and the likes they will try to dis-credit your power figures by using the 1/4 mph, will tell the story argument as they did with Pretzel who was suffering the same problem before he even got to the track.

Look forward to seeing your next run. :sleepystuff:

Mate, it's not the time they will put crap on its the mph against the kw you have.

We have been down this path and you would have read a lot of it. It does'nt matter how many witnesses you have they will still try to shot you down.

I look forwad to you being the first Edit car in the 11's, how long before the new box goes in. :sleepystuff:

well tonight a few off the guys and I went to the drags we all had ishues with take offs I managed to run a 12.3 @121mph but the 60 foot time a bit slow 2.1 and now the clutch needs to be upgraded now

Well done on the PB, Bruce. No doubt you're not very happy as I know how much you wanted an 11. Its a frustrating pastime. No doubt when you get the clutch sorted you'll be joining the 11 second club real soon.

Regarding the MPH. I think the manuals have a different level of MPH/rwkw's than the autos. Your MPH is the same as Deano's and mine in the auto's but I think that the manuals need considerably more power to achieve the same MPH. Brians MPH would also help confirm this aswell as JB's. I think JB ran 13.3 with 270rwkw's where as in an auto 270rwkw's would get a 12.8ish

Maybe we could start getting a data base of manaual power and MPH figures to get a sort of guide. There are a few more manuals getting down the strip now so it could be possible.

Geea. :sleepystuff:

yes you are right the manuals and autos require diffrent power to achieve the same result and boost6 has 330kws and ran 119mph I thinkbut his 60 foot was 2.0
