launch it at 6600 and see if it holds fuck it.

how do you like the monster i hear mixed things about it


The two is probably their best all around clutch. Stock engagmet, good life, holds 500whp. The 3 is their most popular and it is good too just a bit less life and a good bit grabbier. They have their friction materials down. I don't think anyone else is close right now at their price point. The lightweight flywheel will make the car harder to launch at the track. You need more RPM or gear to get it to leave without bogging.



How did you pork up a C5Z to 3553lbs? That is raceweight with you in it right? Stock they are <3200lbs.


On a 1.88 60' at 440whp (100 shot i assume) you should be running mid 11's. On a more reasonable 1.65-1.7 60ft you should be running low 11's if not dipping barely into the 10's. ISO driver mod.


For driver mod reference my PB in my trans am is 12.29@ only 112.9mph thanks to a slipping stock clutch. 60ft was about the same as yours on NEXEN tires. My car should be 250lbs heavier and has about 40whp less than yours. You need seat time. Pull the bottle out and make a bunch of passes N/A until you figure out how to drive that thing. Making a bunch of bad nitrous passes in hopes of snagging 1 good one is a bad way to go about it. When you get to the point you nearly have the car running to it's max potential N/A then out the bottle back in it. The nitrous is just 1 more variable that is keeping you from figuring this thing out

i do feel like i need more time behind the seat. That day street cars didnt get much time to trial cuz of 4 cylinder race and bike race where part of a big car show event at the track.
i might go to a different track closer to my moms to give her a ride next weekend or so.

and fmx for weight my registration say 1615kilos so that would be 3553 lbs my car isnt stock anymore but appart from exhaust components i dont have much that alters weight

idk about the weighting procedure but my province registration state 1615 kilos. no idea how accurate they are or if they simply have some sort of bullshit way to overweight vehicles cuz here you pay more over 4000lbs

now that i think about it something is off, i ran 12.24 without 3rd gear here i am struggling to get the same times with 3rd gear

Did you have a full tank when you weighed the car?

lets start over. I did not weight the car. my car registration state the car weights in at 1615 kilos. dont ask me why, how, when, i do not know, its government controlled and the government in Quebec is a scam so you guess.
im guessing they get the vehicle weight directly from the manufacturer.

corvette museum. org says 1413kilos/3115lbs

That is your GVWR. The weight of the car with it's max payload. They base your taxes and licensing requirements on that.
