    AH! Gotcha! Good to know! Was thinking it was a "my friend told me this guy on the forums said he knew someone" Type thing. Im in a serious predicament at the moment. My rear is not happy and i need to decide what im going to do about it. Its either a Cobra 8.8 IRS setup or a solid axle.

    Pressure plate is the biggest factor in clutch strength. Its what applies the clamping force on the Clutch Disk.

    Yea difficult to do when the end of the pipe uses an elbow coupler. It's one of the only ends that doesn't have a bead rolled in it. It blew out twice that day.

    Well for reference this is what a 1.53 60' looks like. Any amount of wheel spin or drivetrain sympathy will rack up tenths on that pretty quick. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N_udPzU0FII

    Advice for first Drag/AutoX?

    All tires could use a burnout just some more then others. You can try it out on your own on the street if you'd like for next time. Just do a little one and then get out quick and feel the tires. You want them to feel warm and have a tacky surface. Drag radials or slicks will get very sticky...

    What vacuum mods to make?

    Is your car a stick? It's not likely to stall between gears because the speed of the car and the solid connection of the clutch keeps it turning. However on an automatic or in slower speed maneuvers it can release enough air to cause stumbling/stalling. If the motor stalls you use power steering.

    What vacuum mods to make?

    Even with an operating throttle dash pot, it will still stumble and falter. It's not a matter of the throttle closing too quickly it's a matter of the air that has been drawn threw the AFM has already been accounted for, and fuel has been added for that air. A vented BOV allows this metered air...

    sooooooo i dyno'd my car

    Yea unfortunately the closest tracks to me are around 3 hours away and I've herd they're pretty strict. It used to be that if you went to a track rental you could do whatever you want. Until a couple guys blew themselves up going in the 8's with no safety equipment and t shirt, shorts and flip...
