We got home & started inspecting the plugs/clutch. The plugs showed fat & will wait to lean the power jets out once we get some 1/8th mile runs on it.

The clutch showed no heat in the plates as we figured it has too much base pressure at the launch. We took 20 lbs. of base pressure out. We also had a little slippage on the 3-4 shift & we added 15g of weight to 3 of the lock-up arms.

Next weekend we are headed to the track for the 1st TnT & some time slips.

I decided to make a rear gear change for testing on Sat. All testing so far has been done with our 1/4 gearing, 1.94 final ratio. Seeing we shouldn't have any wheel speed at the track, I'm going to start with a 2.06 final ratio.

We'll see how it goes!

Ultra slow motion is what helped me the most on the GTO. V500 has every sensor but the camera is priceless!!!

It was a pretty good day of testing with the quad this past Sat. We were .2 slower on the ET than I was hoping for a baseline.

The clutch was a little loose & showed in the 60', but I'm sure the street can't take much more. We are going to test at the track probably in Feb. or Mar. & add some base pressure for track testing; we should be able to get into the 1.30 range at the track.

We started with our 1/4-mile final gear ratio of 1.94 when testing in Mexico. Sat., we started with a 2.06 ratio & it was a bit too much rpm. The next testing will be done with a 2.0 ratio & should put us in the sweet spot for rpm thru the 1/8th.

We couldn't get a good plug chop the way the track was set-up today, but I'm pretty sure we are still fat. We did lean out one power jet on one of the cylinders. It was running fatter than the other.
