The second pass picked up the 60' from 2.17 to 2.06...which put us there, but she drove right thru the clutch in fourth and netted a 94 mph pass. We aim to fall back and regroup this week, as we had a custom clutch made by American Driveline which they guaranteed!!! So far...this is the third clutch in 700 miles. Seems those Zooms aren't what they used to be. Anyway...good luck with your build. We are looking at hitting the chassis dyno as well once all the bugs are tweaked out of her. Take care. Ron
Ron - Sounds like you'll easily be in the 12s. FYI - most folks I talk to are running the Centerforce dual friction clutch. Also, is yours a stock rebuild, to full Pure Stock specs (more compression, Pertronix, aftermarket exhaust, etc), or somewhere in between?
