Re: need a new clutch!

Redline is not always the right time to shift. The optimal shift point is rarely at 7k and is definately not on a stock car, with the 14b and stock cams its really pointless to take it all the way out there. I think you could pull some better times if you were to test it out a bit and shift a bit earlier.

Also, top speed has got nothing to do with one's racing ability. For instance, I know a guy that could out drive either of you in AutoX and I guarantee no one will be going 150+ on an AutoX course.

I think this thread has run its course, no good can come of it now.
