Sooooo,
Some of you have been checking out my Centerforce Clutch Install thread. I finally managed to get the car back together and working right late this week. I also got ~600 total miles on the clutch and about stop and go miles (Tireless driving around London) before I got her on the Dyno.
We took her to a Dyno Dynamics along with some friends' RX7, VR6 Golfs, C63 and CLS63 AMGs.
I ended putting out 630 at the wheels on this particular roller (guessing high 600s on DynoJet). We did get some KR up top so it was dialed back just a tad. Come to find out, IATs were too hot to start the pull with . The tune doesn't pull KR on the street. Considering what the other cars put down, it was a beast.
Some more break in miles before I start shifting hard and we hit the track. This is my first time on drag radials but it is POURING rain. The track laid a new tarmac last week as well and we were the first to run on it. The track has a 9ft incline from start to finish so its not known for the fastest times. With no prep, new rubber, and new tarmac, I wasn't expecting the best conditions. I was wrong.
I pre-loaded at around 1K RPMS when I bogged that bad boy. I did recover and managed to salvage some of the run but overall I am not too happy about the 60ft. Considering it was the first time I guess I'll cut myself some slack. We didn't get to do another run due to rain. If I can manage to get the 60ft to 1.6-7, then we are talking. Maybe I underestimated the difference in a drag radial.
As far as the clutch, there is chatter but it seems its getting better with break-in. It obviously did its job well at WOT. I will keep updates on it.
