    Flex disc gets here tonight but I'm working 7pm-7am the next two nights. Won't get to install it till Sunday morning before I go to the drag strip.

    Not too thrilled with the idea of my maiden voyage after all this work being the drag strip. Gonna have to cross my fingers and hope there weren't any glitches...

    Put up a WTB thread for a driveshaft. While your under there. Maybe make a cheap safety loop, so when the DS breaks, it doesn't ruin your shifter ....etc.

    Think about all the real race cars that only get tested on the track and then put the purse down and send it.

    Yer doin it wrong. Eh is for when you want confirmation of something you already know.

    For example,

    "Boy this maple syrup sure makes this frozen beaver meat taste good eh?" "You betcha"

    or

    "Them Trump guys are all going to jail eh?" "Yaah what a bunch of colluding hosers"

    So it hooks like a mfer. Scary!
    It's not a fan of turning though lol..
    Also it is kinda sketchy around 130mph. I was running 25 psi in the tires on the street and it was a bit nerve racking.. is that something that is just normal with drag radials or is there something I can do to fix it?

    So today sucked.
    Couldn't run the drag radials cause they were rubbing.

    First pass on street tires I ran 12.01 at 135.
    Second pass I blew up my clutch (I think?)
    Car will roll in gear as if its in neutral. At idle I can hear a rotating type grinding sound.

    Those tires are enormous. You should run 275/40/17.

    I am on my 3rd ZF320 and others have broken more.

    The 135 trap shows you are making good power and of course there is the potential for more since you are on E85.

    Great start. If you had drag radials you would have twisted the driveshaft in 2. Hopefully you have a better shaft on order.
