Ive been noticing that people with SC S2k's have not been gettin solid 1/4 Et


Granted the car is not constructed for straightline speed........


Shouldn't a SC S2k run a high 12 ? Even if most of the power is at the top end .........



How do the SC s2k pull ?

 

The rearend is not strong enough to hold up to repeatedly launching with the power an SC S2000 makes. Most people do not go all out and launch an SC S2000 hard at the track, mainly because of horror stories they've heard from people such as myself. The combination of the SC, upgraded clutch, the stock rearend, and a high RPM launch is mostly good for breaking at the line. A turbo S2000 is a little different of a story because it makes enough power low in the RPM range to get it moving without having to shock the rear end with a hgih RPM clutch dump.

What about the theory that if the tires are spinning upon launch, then you're better off than if they stick (better for the diff).

I would think that any high RPM clutch drop would be bad, but I guess the tires spinning would be the better of the two scenarios, right?

 

In theory, yes. In both of my clutch drop failures the car didn't even move an inch. The force was too much for the rear end before the tires even had a chance to move.

 

around 13.4-13.6 is what i've come across from this board.

 

the car pulls a lot harder than a 13.6. i think you should pull cars that go low 13's even manage to pull a car going high 12's

that is why i don't race from a stop. it is not worth it to break a diff. or something else. when i do anything i go for pulls. its a lot easier on your car and i think it is safer.
