Congrats bro! I'm hoping to get the monkey off my back next Saturday. I hear what your saying about 10s these days not being as "impressive" as a few years back. Seems like everyone runs 9s haha.

Just a quick update on the car after having the QM 8-leg installed and trans refreshed.... I've put about ~50 miles on the car so far and have no doubt this clutch will solve all my high RPM shifting issues. Compared to the ACT 6-Puck that I was previously running, this thing is buttery smooth getting into gear and for the few times I got on the car it held like a champ and actually spun the 1-2 shift and 2-3 shift It is noisier than the ACT, but that may quiet down after some more break-in miles. It's most noticeable during decel or when the car is in first gear. When shifting from 1-2 or 2-3 there is only a light screech that can be heard. Devin @ Boostin Performance did a great job getting my car turned around and freshening up the tranny, once I get some more break-in miles on the clutch/trans I'll be changing fluid and getting ready to hit the track

Nice job Chris! You've certainly put in the work to earn it.
How much boost are you building off of the 2-step? The car sounds lazy right as you start engaging the clutch to launch. Are you using the launch maps of the V7? With the motorcycle slicks and some practice you should be in a mid to low 1.5 territory and I bet its the 2-step settings that are partly to blame. That should put you in 10.5x's alone. Add some blazing shifts with the new clutch (whether you enable NLTS or not) and I'm guessing to see it in the 9.90-10.25 range

Thanks Justin You bring up a good point and I've since addressed it in the tune. On that day I had my stationary rev limit set around ~5500 rpm building around 8psi, I've since adjusted my 2-step RPM to ~6200rpm and modified the launch maps (timing/afr) to build around 13-15psi off the line. I agree the car sounded lazy, now that I've raised the RPM it sounds meaner, lol. I'm also going to try out NLTS with the new clutch. I've been looking at a lot of other people's 1/8th mph and mine is really slow compared to most; if I can get that around 106-108mph I should be able to boogie
