The reason I ask about "break in" miles is because when I first put this ACT 6 puck in my car it didn't hold at first. Now it seems to be holding good. Frank, I've heard that the SPEC stage 3 plus hold really good power and is a full face disc for smooth engagement. There's always that...

Have you guys put enough miles on your clutch? Maybe it needs to be broken in a little longer.

lol. I do have 550's. I really don't have a clue as to how much HP I'm putting down. I was going to try and guesstimate according to my last pass at the dragstrip, but that didn't go over to well. It's gotta be somewhere in the high 200's to the wheels running on 10psi of boost. I like to...

Do what? Burn it up on the first pass, or install it backwards? Hey, was is this Weds the 7th or the one on the 14th you guys are wanting to go to the dragstrip?

FFIM on a 7m is purely a bling factor anyway. There was a guy running mid 9's with a stock 7m upper and lower intake manifold. We all know who he is. You can make power, and go fast with the factory manifold.

Test and tune nights are Weds, and Fri. Gates open 6pm-???. $20 to race, and I think $15 to spectate. It could be $10 to spectate, but I'm not sure. I'll have to check the wife schedule to see if she's off that day. I'll let you guys know soon. I looked at my wife schedule and it looks...

Either way I want to go back to the dragstrip and see what this car does. I'm trying to get some more people to come out. We'll see how it turns out.

Cool, it's on. I think it's going to be a good race. I would never call out someone I think I could easily beat. I think it's going to be close. If I miss a gear then I'm done. No need to rush this race. I'll race when he's available. Then again, I have to be available too. With my wife's...

I'll get pics of it later this afternoon. I can't remember off hand, but I think it was in the way a little. I think the camera is in the wifes car at the moment. I remember when I installed it (16years ago) those coolers were in the way. I unbolted it and just pushed them up a little...

I highly doubt that car is only 2500lbs. Just to give you a comparison a 2010 Honda Civic DX curb weight is 2608lbs. Put a G37 IPL next to a bare-bones Civic and tell me it weighs less. http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/infiniti-g37-review-2011-infiniti-ipl-g-first-drive If that car...

Ok, so I'm looking at a car that has a curb weight of 3718lbs, and puts down roughly 280rwhp & 230rwtq?? I think I'll be just fine. Does he have any mods?

Darrel, let me know if your friend is down for a friendly race at San Antonio Raceway. I want to go back and see this ACT six puck clutch disc is going to do the job, or not. I'll look for an event we can all meet up at SAR. Anybody else down for some dragstrip action?

They do. We have every right to defend ourselves.

I feel for you on the wife hating the Supra. I'm in the same boat. Hell, as long as you get the mortgage & bills paid then she has no room to complain. Now if she's helping you fund your project (paying half the household finances) then she has a right to be pissed about a car that keeps...

justbeinfrank, no biggie. I wasn't in a hurry to get fixed. Darrel came over to help me, and a I had a co-worker help me button things up. It's doing ok now. When ya gonna be up and running? I'd like to see your car sometime. Darrel, how does it drive now? Much better I assume. After...

Why don't you tell us what you did because it looks the same from the before to after pics. You painted it the same color, and assuming you went 2J?

What mods do you currently have on the car now? What kind of rwhp have you put down with your current mods? At what boost level? Are you just building a dyno queen?

Is this your only car? You do have another DD don't you? Are you military? I would try my best to do it myself to save $650. That's money that can be used for other mantainance or upgrades.

I was thinking the same thing. I think I found my answer. Our dragstrip sits at 600ft above sea level. Tucson, AZ is around 2389ft above sea level. That makes a big difference. Guys here would go over to Houston Motorsports Park to run better times. Their altitude is around 53ft above...

Dayum, he said low HP cars. He's calling you out Darrel. Best go out there and represent 7m!
