We got the car back together with a blowproof bell. Went to track today. First pass had clutch adjustment issues. Second pass ran a 98.81 went thru the traps in 3 rd gear around 7400  ... Third pass the clutch disk fell apart...  So I def need more gear like 6.17 or something... Hopefully the pressure plate or the flywheel aren't damged. If they aren't I'll get a new disc and run again next weekend.. We'll see how it broke and hopefully be able to figure out why it broke...

Well it was just TNT today. Yes the wires were awesome. Only problem was I think you had 5 and 8 mislabeled. Other than that, I noticed a big difference midrange with the wires. I thought it was a fuel issue but with your wires it runs smooth thru the RPM range.
My buddy got a few pics of me launching, I'll see when he can get them to me and I'll post them. I forgot the video cam today cause I was in such a hurry. We'll get the clutch figured out and hopefully be racing next weekend. I'm gonna check the run out on the crank. The way the clutch fell apart it just seems odd.

Bummer! What kind of disc was it? Please don't tell me it was a Zoom or from Napa! How tall of a tire are you running on that thing?
Pics please!

Wow, 98.81  how long is that lake, Did ya have to refuel during that pass?
We have over 1000 ft of run off. That is way more than enough. Nah we had enough fuel for that 660 lol....
Et was 8.117 not bad for ice and not even in the power band

Centerforce dual friction. I called CF when I installed it, they said I was pushing the limit on slipping it. They never mentioned anything about the disc itself falling apart. I'm gonna call them Mon morn and see what they have to say.
I was trying to run the shortest tire possible so I am running 295/50/15. They are 26 I believe. So now I need bigger gears, but I don't see anyone that makes bigger than 5.13 for 8.75.....
I should have pics tomorrow...

Yes I have to agree those zoom clutches wear out about in about 800 passes like this, so I bought another one 
 Curious to hear what you car weight is...my zoom did not last at 3500lb.

You sure a centerforce is OK for the RPM your turning? A friend of mine ran one in a mustang with a 7000 shift point. His flung the material off the disc on a missed shift once before...it might have happened twice i can't recall.

The tech didn't say anything but I'll ask him again. I told him i was running high RPMS and he didn't say anything about it. All he said was I was pushing it with almost 600 ft lbs of tq. I'll run it by them again tomorrow after I get the bell apart and see how it broke.
