...ordering the same set-up FAST06SS (G6 wheels/QTP Dr's), my poly control arm bushings came in and we're installing them Wednesday. I'm going to aim high this time, 13.59 w/ a 1.8x 60ft. Hopefully my g/f will be in town and someone can actually work the video camera for me.

 

good luck

 

good luck with that tofu.

 

Tofu, your hows your clutch holding up? I have the same setup + GM exhaust manifold to a 3" Cat back and my clutch will not hold an agressive 1st to 2nd shift what so ever anymore.

 

It's holding up very well actually. I've powershifted numerous times in it and I hardly ever experience any slippage. I usually seem to get it when I lose traction badly, the tires will be spinning and then the clutch will start to slip, but I'll let off for a split second to let the tires grab and it usually corrects the problem. I drive like a grandma on the street 99% of the time, so usually the car is babied. I'm not going to upgrade until my clutch goes out, I'm interested to know how much abuse it will take before it goes (lol I've already put the money away for a stg x clutch when it goes out so I'm not caught off guard).

 

Please try to get some pics of the process of installing the control arm bushings.

 

Biggest bitch is getting them out, but on a new car it shouldn't be that bad. I changed my control arm bushings and leaf spring bushings on my 90 gmc, took WEEKS to get them out. I ended up ruining both control arms and just bought tubular ones anyway. PITA

 

God Speed Tofu ...

 

This outta be good Good luck Tofu

 

so what are you planning to do to break into the 12's tofu?

 

Cool!! I'll be going saturday to the track so it is ON! I fear wheel-hop will keep me from running though


As for those QTP's, start at 22psi and if they spin, go down in 1psi increments, but no lower than 16psi

Now a word of prayer for your clutch!

 

throw it down Tofu!!!

 

Say bye bye to that stock clutch when those tries bite. Should be interesting tofu, i see you accomplishing your mission if you get in on the first 2-3 runs, but after that i think somethings gonna be burning and slipping :P

 

Thanks for the info! Good luck to you! I'm seriously excited to see what that SS puts down w/ the intense kit and traction.

As for the clutch, I have a feeling it's time will be up soon lol.

 

intense kit just installed in the houston area so watch out for a yellow ss/sc lowered the car runs like a beast mid 13's on street tire with no problem weather conditions right know suck rained yesterday THE BEAST WAS BORN 2/24/06
