Message on it's way out for sure. I mean with the TD05's that are proven to make over 550rwhp and your car only got 420ish out of them. That tells me that you had a very weak engine(read low compression,bad rings etc)

I agree that traction seems to be one of our biggest issues and the clutches have come leaps and bounds over the last year.

Stay tuned...I think the OS Giken triple plate on the way will take whatever launches I throw at it.....I plan to be in the 10's ....just need a damn set of turbos :)

BTW- Thanks again for helping me out way back when with the turbos :)

: Ok on my supra, I have a stock toyota clutch that withstands 5k lauches. I have over 100runs on this stock clutch at BPU. So far my best time is 11.8@121mph. The advantage is the short time. Also, the other OEM components that I have that the Z doesn't (larger injectors).

: A properly tuned BPU should run 11's with drag radials. I've only invested $1000cdn in mine. Most Z's at stage V have 3 times invested and still barely muster 12's.

: I wont argue beyond that. MOney is the figure that makes your car fast. Beyond stage X, or APU anything goes. The costs including the cars are relatively close.
