A Decision Has Been Made...

[Windveil Blues]

OK, I have decided on a clutch/tranny... finally. I am keeping the 5 speed, but having it rebuilt by a notoriously good tranny builder here in podunky MO. I have also decided on a Centerforce clutch. Andy, take a look and let me know what you think: http://www.lethalperformance.com/pa...t.html?zenid=44d6c44aa46f4774410c1dc26acd804a

I was looking at same one Jim. I am going to replace flywheel and drive shaft same time though

 

[Windveil Blues]

Yep Phill, me too. A friend here at work showed me an ad in NHRA's mag for aluminum driveshafts for 399.00, too. I'm gonna get both... flywheel and driveshaft.

thanks for keeping the 5 speed!!

 

[Windveil Blues]

LOL... you're quite welcome, Beej. I have decided to just shoot for 11's in street trim, and not race the car at the track on a regular basis. I'm gonna build something else for that...

Jim

thanks for keeping the 5 speed!!

Jim

fox???

 

[beejay31000]

now thats some smart thinking....

 

[Windveil Blues]

I want a 9 second car for the track. That is my goal by the time my daughter is out of the house... that is about two years. I think that is realistic.

this is the same flywheel that was in the mach! you dont win races with cheap parts, I always say!

 

[beejay31000]

yeah....i actually thought about it...but i would be the idiot driving around town hitting the button all the time

 

[Foxman]

at first yes.... but after awhile you just get use to it... a gear 5.0 is fun to dirve alone.... the spray is only there for the asshole with deep pockets... the guy in the honda with a turbo.... now your a basicly stock 5.0 good and relaible but the NOS is there when you need it...

and alot of the time you wont be spraying in every gear.. just when you need a little bit more!

 

[beejay31000]

i actually got beat the other day by an eclipse killed him off the line, then we ran from like 60-70 and he beat me by a bumper...and i was thinking how spray would have helped. my car just doesnt have any guts above 80mph the way it sits

 

[Foxman]

what gears do you have? if you want to race from 80 you need 3:73's or 3:90's

 

[blackstallion06]

It may have been a turbo car or all wheel drive. That could have been part of your problem. Like MachMan said you need Gears. You can also free up quick easy HP by doing underdrive pullys. With the Pullys and gears you will feel a def diffrence for under 300$ in parts

 

[beejay31000]

my car has about every bolton you can get, and the driveline is built too with 4.10's. it was a gsx eclipse that was pushing serious boost and spitting flames out the back.
