I'm looking into getting the car ready for the drag strip. I plan on going no more than 1 or 2 weekends a month or 6 to 8 times a year. Other than tires, below are the next batch of mods I plan on purchasing to ensure the car can withstand the abuse/ extend longevity.
1. UPR Whipple catch can
2. MGW X-spec shifter
3. Whipple upgraded HE
4. Reische thermostat
5. DSS CF driveshaft
6. DSS 800 hp axles
7. RST clutch w/billet flywheel
I was hoping to get feedback on the drivline mods. My reasoning for doing the clutch, shifter, and drive shaft all at once is to save on labor. However, I'm starting to question myself if investing in a driveshaft, shifter, and clutch for the MT-82 is a good idea given the power I'm already making (723/ 560 on 93 octane on DYNAPACKS). My concern is if the MT-82 can't support these power levels and breaks, my next move would to be to upgrade to a Magnum XL, which would be incompatible with the clutch, shifter, driveshaft that I purchased for the MT-82, and thus wasted money.
As far as ultimate power goals, I plan on keeping the car on the Whipple tune running 93 octane and the current 3.75 pulley. I might consider one pulley size down if I can't hit 10s with the 3.75.
Car currently has 4,100 miles on it. Stock clutch seems to be holding so far, but I know its days are numbered when I start launching it at the track. Now that I have raised the rev limiter to 7,800 rpm after the ATI/OPG/CS install, I do experience occasional difficulty hitting 3rd.
Nonetheless, looking for suggestions on whether it makes sense to do the mods listed above, given my logic and power goals.
BTW, vendors feel free to chime in if you would like to provide a "bundled package price" quote on the above items.
As always, I appreciate any and all feedback...Kev
