Im going up to the track this weekend to see if I can figure out whats up with the 1-2 shift. I might have to Mongo it to see if I can get it to go in. I just got my new Trifecta Dual Tune and and installed my OTT stage 2 mounts today. It feels real strong from 4500 to 6500 RPM so I want to do 1-2 around 6300 rpm so it dosnt drop below 4500 rpm . Ill post the results or the pictures of the pieces of my trans. HaHa

inside jokes like that are gay.

To all, every car is different, powerbands, mod list, tunes, the conditions at the track, how the car will respond, they are all different. It's going to take some testing on a few different passes to find the right tire pressure and the right launch technique to get it.

If its the same seal: Follow the line from the master cylinder down to the trans (you'll likely have to remove the fusebox to have access). Unhook it. I think there's like a 90* elbow on top of the trans (or maybe its made into the end of the line, i can't remember) and you pull that off. Then there's just a nipple sticking up and it should have a seal that SNAPS down onto it.. Mine was just sort of sitting on top, not snapped into the groove. Snap it down, reassemble

Your going to have to watch wheel spin big time. If I remember those are like 23.5 inch tall, which also means shifting to forth but thats a good thing in my oppinion.

Like everyone else is saying, DR's are in-between street tires and slicks, which is a good thing. I wouldnt launch from that high of an RPM, it just isnt worth it I dont think, unless you know exactly what you're doing. Your local track might be good for practice, but I wouldnt expect the same results from Atco. My Brother runs consistent 8.9's at our local track, and today at Bowling Green he ran consistent 8.6's, on the same setup, except losing boost in 2nd and 3rd. Results will very from track to track. Report back with some good times, and good luck.

I think he's better off with slicks than DR's.

Will the stock LNF clutch hold a quick slip, followed by the traction of the DRs with that much tq? Or will the heat from the quick slip be just enough extra strain on it to have it slip for half of the run?

Well I dont slip the clutch but it has held up fine to the slicks so far.
