I launched it on the old set up with the old clutch... once. I'm not too good at it and with the new HP and TQ, I'd prefer not to blow out axles or anything.

Sooo. I finally got to drive the car today. So excited. Now I have to put some miles on it and adjust the dump tube before I can really boost it. The dump tube is really close to an AC line. I heat wrapped it but Terrible told me it won't help with that constant heat being blown on it. Thinkin bout routing it through the vent in the hood. Lol

That's exactly what I wrapped it in. We can't extend it. We had to cut it short because it didn't clear the lower pipe.

where can we see some pix? I like the whole hood dump idea. I was playing around with the idea of doing mine that way. Twin 44mm dumps out from the vents. Although i dont want to modify my existing tubes. I priced out materials alone are going to be $120 ish . one set up for the rain and one set up for intimidation

I'll have to send pics tomorrow. The dump tube goes straight down. There's an ac line that runs across the bottom of the condenser. About an inch or more from the ac line on the other side of the dump tube is the lower pipe. The dump won't fit in between them. The dump tube isnt directly over the ac, but partially.

in all the years of watching evo guys race, i have never seen anyone break. and if by chance someone does break thats probably because they knew what they where doing,Going for broke. Most of the usual members arent at the power level or skill level. two rules to follow for new guys: Dont roll through the water box(if there is one) & dont leave the line untill you are ready to slip the clutch after a proper 2step. its the first 60ft that count, not reaction times. okay maybe one last thing its not cool or funny to get a ****ty launch and then come tell me your tire pressure was at like 40psi Good luck people
