Whats up guys,
I have a 2003 cobra with a 2.3 whipple. Stock motor,manifolds hi flow convertors and 3.55 gear. I had the Whipple installed this past March. My previous best with ported eaton was a 10.72 @ 128. With the Whipple it was a 10.22 @129. I ran it a couple more times in April and May 10.40 to 10.50 @ 131. I figured the clutch might have been slipping in high gear so over the summer i put a spec stage 3+ ( had a stage 3 ). I ran the car a couple weeks ago and went a 10.44 @ 132 but i thought the clutch was slipping in 2nd so i eased out of it but when i went to 3rd it started back pulling so i kept in it and made a full pass. A buddy of mine told me it was spinning in 2nd. I ran the car yesterday and it did the same thing. I went a 10.39 @ 134.85 but it didn't feel like it was pulling in 2nd. Made another pass and this time i felt the back bouncing a little so maybe it was spinning in 2nd. Went 10.43 @ 134. My 1/8 mile and 330 times are off by at least 2 tenths. I have been a 6.55 with a 4.27 330 but on my last couple of passes 6.71 to 6.74 with a 4.41 330. Any suggestions.:??:

well if your cluch is starting to slip its going to slip alot worse it might be your posi is going and some times just spins one tire so i would check that and if your limited slip is not the problem i would jsut drive the car till you know for shure that the clutch is slipping

oh and how many miles are on the clutch?

hope this helps
