well, i went to the track yesterday for the first time. It was also my first time down the track in a front wheel drive car. I ran a 14.01 at 107.67mph with a 2.7 60 ft time. Now i did not realize that wheel hop is that CRAZY at the track. So, I'm looking to get some traction mods, I'm thinking traction bars and a torque damper. Maybe even some mounts. What do you guys think i should get first? What one would be the biggest helper in preventing wheel hop? Also, on my second pass my clutch slipped really bad. i didn't want to break the car so i left. I know i need a clutch but what one do i get? I have a 2.6, header, cat less mid pipe and an intake for my power adders. I plan on getting an exhaust cutout just to use at the track. I dont want a cat back because i like the current sound. Then I'm thinking of getting a Harrop supercharger or twin charge next summer. It would be nice if i only have to change the clutch once. So if you guys can think of one that will also help my future plans that would be cool. I don't really understand the clutch lingo from these companies. They say "harsh engagement" or not recommended for the street? Why is it not recommended? I don't care if the clutch si really hard to push in/

 

does the clutch work normal now? I think the stock clutch is really under rated or blamed because of bad driving. If it only slipped once, your probably still good to go with it.

 

yeah it works but i know that people were going through clutches. So i didnt want to make it slip and fail before i was ready to do a clutch.

 

Do your self a huge favor and get the TTR solid mounts, not the torque dampener... You will see many post on here that members bought and ingalls then did the TTR mount and would never change back... Only need one or the other.

To hold the power you are looking at I think a clutch kit upgrade is just around the corner...

 

i gotta clutch brand new for ya! need to get rid of it asap! gettin rid my car and i never installed it!

I am one of those who thought a torque damper would be enough. Truth is it isn't going to cut it if you want to anything when running at the track. Just get the solid mounts and be done with it. The vibes will go away with time.
