Look at your dyno sheet and find your highest TQ reading this will give you the RPM to launch the car, now at a drag strip with road race gears you must understand the clutch is a disposable fusable link so slipping the clutch so as not to spin the tires is the secret. The TQ will power you out once full traction is acheived and carry you to second gear with out the bog.:banana

Watch video of GT's launching, most just roll out normal or bog then hit the gas (safe but not fast).::wink

Now if a saving the clutch is a concern then just have fun and get drop the hammer and clutch and try to feather the throttle. With a bunch of street cars Indy's launch and stage area will be very dirty but fun.:thumbsup

I heard from an SVT enginner that you get two wishes using this method, then you replace the clutch and start again. That is with a stock GT. Mods probably burn a wish before starting.

I knew I would regret not joining you for this trip

Your sense of humor tells me You are one classy dude. Hope you guys have a hell of a good time. I am a dunce for not partying with you guys next weekend!!:cheers



Hello Joey baby....
I would think for what we paid already, plus the $300 per car check that each of us has to write ($300 x 50 cars =$15,000) for the escort service, that we should expect some consideration.... I am not ready to start paying for autographs... end of story,... Enough already... appreciate your work.
Now you want to arrange a lap dance with Milka, Sarah and the other chic in Bony's suite I might feel more generous. Ok?
God Bless You,
daniel

Oh you are so correct. Thats why I gave two senarios or maybe use a blend of the two. After 40 years of making 4 speeds compete I can only say the clutch industry loved me. I think a few of them went belly up when I retired frorm the 1/4 mile.

Dear Dr. Jeff,
Please check your front door, there is a Fedex envelope from the BONY SCHOOL OF MEDICINE with your diploma and certifying you as a FELLOW from our SCHOOL OF ANESTHESIOLOGY. We are counting on your talents, otherwise we will have to induce a relaxed and restful state with the aid of MAKERS MARK, PLYMOUTH GIN, and LEVEL ONE. Regret to inform you we have sold the television rights to Larry Flint.
Sincerely,
Bony, P.A

words with -ology in them

I have a post graduate degree in Tav-ology. I had at least three years of being in a relaxed and restful state. It was a wonderful class. I will be glad to participate in a refresher course in your suite.

The Fed Ex package just arrived. Impressive diploma. Parchment paper too!
The watermark said it was from King Tut's personal stash.

Thanks

Jeff
