Lencos in SS

"Let me restate my question, if a motor pulls good from 8200 to 9900, and you lock it down hard in all 5 gears, and you see it never dropped below 8400, and did not blow the tires off, what benefit is slipping the clutch?"

Check out Brett McFarlands red Camaro, about a third of the way through this video. This is a good, clean run, going 10.08 @ 131.06 w/ a 60' time or .01 or less off the formula. This formula is accurate.
So if you can accept this (try it on the NHRA web site for S/SS and Comp records), I would ask you if it's financially prudent to build another 50 HP or get a better clutch program (worth around .50 ET drop in this case)? PM me and we can discuss this further.
