I thought that i was the only person to launch a scooby like that. Its good to know that some here can relate to how sick the launch really is.

Keep up the launches man. I love to hear other scooby members laying down what i call the SEE YA LATER LAUCH ( thats what my friends called it when they seen my lauch my rex agianst a 5l stang) and let me tell ya, it really was see ya later.



Actually thats how you are suppost to launch, well, you arn't supposed to let the clutch all the way out in the first place. Just gotta find the line were you can slip the clutch to get as little wheelspin as possible while still accelerating as fast as possible.

Now when you get your new clutch here's somthing to try. The "correct" way to launch a turbo drag car. Ok, first off, your wastegate will only close and start spooling your turbo when your underload, so reving with the clutch in does not spool your turbo. So, (after you have a good clutch), this is what to try. Set handbrake (lvl depends on your hp, so play around), put it in 1st, rev to desired launching RPM, slip clutch to get your car under load and spool your turbo, drop handbreak and let clutch out, continue to slip clutch to reduce wheelspin.


As for clutches, Cusco is the name when it comes to clutches. I beleave a good twin plate should work fine for your application. Installing one... if it were me I'd let someone else do it, but it all depends on how skilled a mechanic you are and what tools you have ;)

Thanks for the info man!

As soon as my factory clutch is pooched, i will go and get a cusco one. this way i can spool up and lauch at 7000rpm hehe:devil: . That will be the final touch.


Now i need to get back to work. all i can think about is my car, and how much power i want it to have.


I GUESS THATS NORMAL WHEN YOU WANNA GO FAST AND FASTER AND FASTER..... YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.

DUDE THAT IS THE SICKEST SHIOT I EVER SEEN.

I think that if i were to put that clutch on my car (the last one) that i would need new drive axles eveytime i let off the clutch. LOLOL


Anyhow, it's a good idea to start looking around for this shit, so thanks for showing me.

A local distributer has alot of shit in stock for the rex, so i will go ask him what i can get for around 1000 bucks!!

If not ah well fuck it, ill get some more power mods and smoke the stock clutch till i can smell it in my sleep. Then ill have a good reason to pull out the plastic and buy a nice clutch.:D :frog:

Hopefully i can get the blowoff valve for the weekend.

Once i have all the pieces i will start tuning my REX for the 1/4 mile. I wanna be in the mid to low 13's wheni have evrything.

What do you think i would need to get my rex in the low 13's???????

Oh i know i would need more BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSTTTTTTT!!!! that would do it. pppppppppppppppppppppppppsssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh hhhhhhh.


I LOVE TURBO CHARGERS:flash: :smoker: :silly2: :D :p :alien2: :frog:

I'd say intake, down/up pipe, turbo back exhaust, lightened flywheel, boost controler (17psi), lightened pully, and clutch should getcha there if not a little more.

I wanna buy that triple plate and hang it on my wall.........
