Well, I'm sitting in a restaurant, waiting for some people to arrive, which is the most time I've had to myself in a while. Time to update the build!

South Bend clutch... where to start? I did a SUPER long break in on it... 1500 + miles long. 750 miles on < 9 psi of boost... usually much less. 500ish miles of 19 psi of boost, but no launching. Another 200 miles of full boost, still no launching. Tried 4 drag launches in 45 minutes. The clutch material melted and shed off the plate. Transmission shop tells me it was riveted on ONLY, no bonding agent at all.

Went to Drift Office and had an Exedy twin clutch put in. Sooo much better. I've put in 500 miles of break in. We'll see how it launches very soon.

Also had my 3.5 bar AEM map sensor. COBB map sensor adapter, Grimspeed master brake cylinder brace and COBB fuel pressure regulator installed. Add re-tune

The E85 tune is MUCH smoother if not a bit too peaky. Car is now pushing 390 who on the 92 octane tune @ 23 psi, and the E85 tune is 472 whp at 26 psi. The Fozzy is STUPID FAST. 

Brake upgrades are now complete (sans caliprs) and it stops wonderfully. Could be better, but for the amount spent, I'm very happy.

I did a 1/4 drag launch (level ground, from a stand still) tonight. My launch 100% sucks, but the numbers are good, poor launch considered. If I could get a good launch, I'd be where I want to be. 

Per Access Port:

60' = 2.819 sec

330' = 5.787 sec

0-60 = 4.610 sec

1/8th mile = 8.194 sec @ 95.361mph

1000' = 10.521 sec

1/4 mile = 12.525 @ 113.005 mph
