I don't really have the time to list all of my mods, but look in the profiles on the main page for me (Silver Frost 1998 SVT from PA). It has a current and complete list of mods. EVERYTHING else on the car is stock or stock replacement, including the clutch. About 1/2 tank of gas, no spare or any other extra weight. Probably about 3050 pounds with driver (scale was not on). S-AFC
still has not been dyno tuned (just ballparked), so there is some hidden power in there.
I can now say that I have proof that the old clutch was holding me back (which I have been whining about for at least a year). I also know that I can get more out of it with some practice. I'm thinking at least 14.75 or so.
Weather was excellent (50 - 60 degF, not a cloud in the sky, wind was a little gusty but it was a tailwind). Track was fast and pretty much always is. The groove is anything but straight - that's the only knock on the track, but for cars running our speeds it isn't much of a problem. Now, the NHRA Pro Mod that made a 203 MPH pass for us, he worries about that more than we do I'm sure.
Anyway, nobody bit on the first part of my original post, so I'll ask it a different way. The
.205 R/T was not a typo, nor was it a foul start. As a matter of fact, I put down a .151 R/T on my bracket pass (hint). I'm still waiting for someone to chime in on how exactly that can be ...
