well todays the day
did some burn outs last night to break the slick in out of storage (im sure the nabours loved that )
i noticed the clutch felt a little stiffer after wards, is that from the pressure plate warming up?

I have to lift my car another half inch to fit this 24.5X8X15 of matts ( they are like 1/2" to a full 1" TALLER than the exospeed 24.5X8X15's that are sitting my garage) so that bitch needs some lift. Doing that right now

That usually works for me because I have a fear of being shot point blank in the face. If you are afraid of birds, imagine a bunch of them are right behind you.
OMG thats ground breaking info!

11.5 psi tire pressure

last years run on same slicks (dont know tire pressure) was 13.6 @105 mph with a 2.2 60 ft
this set up is tuned by me
the old one was tuned by a shop but from what i know now (looked at old tune) i think they ran too much timing that resulted in spun rod bearings

nice improvement, i was able to pull a 2.1 60' on bald all seasons at 18 psi with a stock z6 motor and trans in a cx chassis. popped the cluth at the rev limiter no preload or anything fancy. Wheel hopped like a bitch and ran my fastest time ever. Of course I tried to back it up and blew the diff when it grabbed on the next run. hence why i'm interested in this preload business.
