Impresive numbers. What tire are you running? Mickeys? What diff are you using? What axles are you using?Stock, Kaaz or cusco?

I would love to be in a car when it does a 1.40 60ft.

Awsome stuff. I like how u kept stock drivetrain and went with a kaaz.

Are kaaz diff's loud? I was told by a mechanic they are loud and whine naturally.

well with the standard diff cover they can get whiney when the diff oil heats up and can clunk on very slow turn speeds eg less then 5mph.
I changed the diff cover for a large capacity Greddy item, so it holds more oil, now no more whine, and it only clunks occasionaly now on turns.

Congrats! I love how the car stays up after launching. How many passes did you make and what were the times and 60fts?

was experimenting with higher boost pressures this weekend,lost power too rich in those cells so booking some dyno time.
60fts remained in the 1.4s , my four series of runs were 10.7,10.9,10.9,10.7 terminals 125 to 127

your logs will also show some if you have a slipping clutch. I just went thru this and once I laid the log out in the chart with speed-rpm you could see it.

One thing to note is you are very consistant! Almost a bracket racer! LOL,,,,

hmmm I may adjust the OS Giken slave cylinder rod which can cause it to slip at higher torque levels, they are new plates in there, or maybe it cant hold the power at the higher boost levels. Next outing on the 11th of July for our Rotorstock in the UK so will experiment a bit.

I used VP C14 fuel this time mixed with some pump fuel just to keep it safe

Hi Mark,

Hows it going. Does sound like slip and will probably explain why when you turned the boost back down the you were quicker. Plates in my hks gmax were new when I suffered the same thing. Adjusted the rod somewhat it improved, after a few runs I was back to square one.

Yep Brian , I actually remembered your problem last evening and it sounds like mine, going adjust the rod this weekend, though it makes engaging first slightly harder then it creeps forward with the clutch depressed lol

Also going to check which model of TS2 OS Giken I have, I might have the smallest one in terms of disc diameter, so might buy either the tripple plate version or the larger diameter version with the billet aluminiuim Cover that gives more clamping force.

I have the TS2B model after checking.
Went to the track this weekend and won my class, did a total of 7 10 second passes, fastest was a 10.6 with a 1.43 60ft.

Have now ordered a Tripple plate R3C model, the car wont be out until October as the cage is being fitted at the end of August
