Thanks Ken, you were a big help getting it dialed in!

It was definitely a good time! After Ken got it dialed in better, I managed to pull off a couple 147mph 1/2 mile passes from a dig on Saturday... Sunday was roll racing and I won my bracket against a Camaro ZL1 w/Lingenfelter package from a 30mph roll

Mods are in my signature, but heres a cut and pasted incase you can't see them

Great job! My best was 145 mph from a dig before inlets/outlets. Hitting Wannagofast in GA in Sept. Hopefully I'll crush that if the weather cooperates.

Are you there on Sat or Sun? I will be there.

I am interested to see what you 1/2 mile trap will be in GA vs your FL trap speed. You will probably be about 7 to 8 mph slower because of the elevation and the Clayton runway actually rises for the last few hundred yards.

I'm running on Saturday. I trapped 140 mph last Sept up there.

You're absolutely correct about the altitude. Even though the temps were in the 60's last year, the DA was still close to 3000 ft. I've since added inlets/outlets and retuned so it will be interesting to see.

Nice. I will be there on Sunday so I will miss you. In my Z4, I trapped 137 in May 2015 on Sun, but the DA was around 9000 ft. I am hoping to hit 165 to 170 in Sept. No BMW this time.

Congrats on the results

May I ask for your feedback on your spec stage 3+? I've bought one as I couldnt quite swallow the cost of their twin plate

I'm really satisfied with the Spec Stage 3+ and Mfactory combo... It does have some chatter at idle, but it's not my daily and I usually have the clutch pushed in when I'm inside the car anyway. But given the performance/power this car is putting out, I can live with a little chatter... As for engagement, it's almost perfect and starts to grab mid pedal travel. It's also only slightly stiffer then stock, but it's barely noticeable and I got used to it right away... The part that did take some time getting used to, was how much quicker it grabs the flywheel, and sometimes it's a little challenging at first, but I eventually got used to it... But even though it grabs quiker, it's definitely possible to slip it during take offs and especially when launching it...

Thanks so much for your informative response!

From what I had read it's a really Street able clutch but then I've read some horror stories also... I had seen a video of a guy driving a 800hp ST e90 (he goes by the name of Omar and I've seen him on this forum) and when he drove it for the first time it was bunnyhopping something chronic...

My car has very similar mods to yours and is a weekend car. I was going to install stage 2 turbos when I install the stage3+ and spec SMF

Have you raised the idle with MHD to combat rattle at idle? That's nice you can still slip it somewhat as it's awkward trying to do say a quick reverse Park or 3 point turn with a really grabby clutch..

[Torgus]

the 3+ is easy to drive once it is broken in and you are used to it. Raise up your idle rpms and no more rattle.

[Eracer76]

Yeah its definitely streetable... and if you have a trained foot, its easy to slip it, I was able to creep it very slowly into the trailer over the weekend with no problem at all... But if your not careful when driving around slowly in first gear, it can start bunny hopping lol.

And I did raise my idle to 850, and it only rattles sometimes now, mainly with the A/C on.

Sorry I meant the guy who owns the car (the guy bunnyhopping it drove it for the 1st time wasnt the owner)
