I installed my Centerforce dual friction a couple weeks ago. I had the flywheel re-surfaced and everything.

Anyway, the papers say 400-500 miles of stop-n-go traffic before you really launch it. So far I drove to Huntington Beach -150 mile round trip, Santa Barbara ( 350 miles) and have done about 50 miles of traffic driving in town.

Do you guys think I'm OK to launch? I have gotten on it pretty good and done some powershifts and stuff, but I'm kinda scared to really launch it. I just put my new intake on yesterday, and my new distributor, she's ready to rock.

BTW: I'm not that impressed with this clutch, it doesn't slip but it doesn't grab that hard. I tried to chirp 3rd last night and it didn't really happen. My 1-2 shift will get wild, but I guess I was just expecting more. Maybe the new intake is giving me a bit less torque on the shift, but the power band has risen and the horsepower is definately noticable.

 

 

I'd say it's probably about ripe.

 

Well, then, I'll just have to grab my G-Tech and launch her then.

i'll post the new times. Hoping for high 13's.

 

you should be good to go dude...

they only reccomend 500 miles before a hard launch...im guessing for the warranty?, if it has one.

 

UM......YEAH....

Did a trial launch and uh.......yeah it's time to put some money into traction. The car gets awful loose if I give her more than 1/2 throttle.

Time for LCA relocating brackets and boxing of my stock LCA's.

 

holds pretty good huh

 

California speedway has drag racing this saturday and you can get some real times on it.

Real Times???? G-Tech is within 1/10. I'm fine with that, and most races for me are on the street, not the track.

Not to mention why go to the track when I can run for free????

 

cuz the track is LEGAL?

 

Give it a rest. Don't tell me the only time you get on it in your car is at the track. Don't be a hypocrite.

 

ive had two DFs, peices of junk if u ask me, itll last ya a few thousand miles if u dont slip it at the track. becareful on the street, its not fair to put other peopes lives in danger when tehre is a dragway to do this at.

 

no i get on it on the streets too. but the difference is, i race at the track cuz its legal. i dont bitch because it costs 20 bucks to race.
