hey duey,

every time i ran i increased the launch rpm - that 15.6 that i did was at 3200rpm and a 50% clutch thingy...so i did 3200rpm green light, release to 50% fullthrottle release all the way

i was 25psi in my tires (which are from 2 different companies) so that hurt me
the most i think...

next time it'll be 5000rpm and clutch slip for good launches....

my tranny was ok...i missed 3rd on the first run tho =] well it grinded a bit
i do have a clutch stop and a ssk installed tho
oh yah and a m5 illuminated shift knob!!!

wheelspin in first i kept to a min - that last run the 15.6 was a little hoppy
tho....

i spun going into 2nd the track had a lotta rubber on it

Wow, with 255's in back, too! There's some pretty good torque in that M30!

Maybe with that deep a gear, 2nd might not be a bad idea, at least to try once. I have to say, 1st in my 6-speed is rediculously steep...I redline at about 38 mph! I think I would try launching in second once or twice just to see how it goes. I'd hate to smoke the clutch thogh, so I would just be happy with driving at speed...I leave the straight line stuff to a '73 440 Charger that high-12's on 255/60's

Cheers,
Duey
