8.50's / completely stock engine Gen 2

[ItsDooomz]

Weather finally starting to cool down a touch, we're only in the mid-80s for the highs now. Instead of the usual 2000 to 2500 ft DA with 145 plus GPP, found a 75° evening and she was rolling. .

I wonder can you get under that with that gen 2 clutch. Dustin think you can get in the 1.2x?

Not at this wheelbase and power level. (180ish hp/67") I've been 1.315 will the 49 tooth rear sprocket in the heat and humidity. I was expecting much better air (600') and went down to 47 to be safe. It's literally on the ragged edge. We ended up with a 1300' DA and didn't really have enough gear. I'll put a 48 tooth on and try it again Friday but It's already carrying the wheel all the way through to the 1-2 shift.

Looking good. I'm confident you can get in the 1.2's with lots more suspension tuning, clutch tuning, gearing, and favorable weather. I never spent the time to do it at that length but knowing what I know now it would be fun to try. I ran very similar to your slip then ended up going longer over the winter. A little more power would make it easier.

If it doesn't happen soon, it's never going to happen. Phase 3 build starts in 2-3 weeks...

Thats a lot more MPH than I could muster out of my raw road 1441s in 1/8th. I think my best 60 was 1.58 and 125mph and thats 30ish more horse than your stock however all those were in bad DA as well. I moved on from that project, foolish looking back on it now.
