Right... so it goes back to the "quick" or "500 mile" procedures, whitle either one will transfer material, they do it in different ways.
I've never heard of anyone driving 500 miles before using their brakes ;)

When i use to work on a 911 race team on the 1st practice day of the year we would brunish all the new rotors (mulitple sets)with there matching brake pads take them off and put them all back in the box wathing for race day you could see the pads beding into the rotors . if you put them on unburished it would take alot of laps before they got up to full braking.
Clutch should not be producing any heat on the dyno unless its slipping. I can understand the need to transfer heat when you are going through the engagement process but that doesn't happen on the dyno unless you are doing something silly like a 1/4 mile run on the dyno.
Re-bolted up the exhaust (forgot to after clutch install)
Installed a different TPS (think the one in it was flaky)
Drained out the winter glycol-mix and replaced with water/water-wetter
Drained the 100 and topped off with fresh 110
Took a couple trips around the hood... clutch is VERY grabby in reverse, not as much in forward gears... squeeks a little on engagement but is very quick to do so. Lighter flywheel/clutch definitely revs faster.. they were gentle drives (as to not PO the neighbors) so only time it made boost or left tracks was pulling back into the driveway, LOL...
Gotta fit the new slicks on it and go for another drive...
New slicks bolted up...
Or now?
Drove around the hood with the slicks, scuffed then nibbles off them... stopped and talked with a neighbor and drove home, left it running got out, and it died, starte dup and dies w/o throttle... looking at laptop and the voltage was low, WTF!? NO, the alt belt didnt come off again, LOL, I found a loose ground wire to the alt. hope thats it... didn't test again cuz got busy making a littl emore room for the 26" slicks...
hmmm hopefully you just shook the ground loose...
What slicks did you go with? MT, M&H, Hoosier?
M&H's
Wow, looks like lots of room in the pic! Looks like way more room than the Charger, but I'm guessing the shape of the lower region of the WW is where it's tight? The Charger opens up down there while the G body comes straight down.
I would expect your 330' to improve significantly from the twin disc and 26's. I'm gonna say at least 2 tenths off your previous best 330' from the improved 1-2 shift and traction alone once you have it dialed in ;)
I hope you're allowing p-body test fits at SDAC. :thumb:
Yeah, the lower half of the WW goes straight down and almost tucks around the tire. You can see in the pic the extra triangle (south of the black molding) I took out of the front GFX last year to try Josh's 26's and after that, the tire still rubbed the plastic splash sheild at the back so I'm making more room there now... I hate body work, LOL
I might just have to swing by on my way back home after landing in O'Hare to get my slicks from you since you got your own now. If not, it is looking like I should be able to make the July meet.
