Here is my setup.
68 ply gtx
original 18 spline trans
354 rear gear
325/50-15 et radials
mcleod street twin clutch about 4 years old
90wt fluid in trans
stock bellhousing
hurst comp+ shifter [originaly inland shifter]
modified shift levers to shorten throw
launch at 3000 rpm anymore and spins the tires
not powershifting. I know it would do much better if I did.
best 60ft 1.81
average 60ft 1.9`s need more time at the track and some nice sticky bias ply et street tires.
best et 11.81 @ 119.26
suspension has front and rear sway bars, bilstein shocks, big torsion/strut rods and factory rear leaf springs.
weight with my 180lbs in the front seat 4,120lbs

And I agree there are not to many guys that will play with an old manual trans at the track

Here is a run a couple of years ago.
