Yep. Tampabay area. Personaly I like running people that are just a little faster than me. Makes me work harder to catch them. Smokin, he is just in the next league. No one will usually line up next to him so it's usually us 2 running side by side.

also check your clutches and tire pressures, too low tire pressure will kill your mph! especially if you are on the heavy side! i weigh 240 myself!
I have run 5lbs of air, and run 123 mph in the 1/8........, on a stock 12.........
You still have to hook up......
We just did a multistage tune on a big guy like you this past weekend........, 1.43, low 3.8s, 5.8s, and 7.60 at 1000, and he chopped it.
Took me a while to find the tune up......, he pops the lever off the bar at 4500 rpm.........
You would have to take his multi away at gun point now.....

Multistage??? what exactlly is that,,,,,two seperate tunes?? Are you saying maybe its my tune? I was a little disappointed in my hp, but every dyno is different, and i could tell a huge difference.

And he was running 118 in the 1/8.
Now, with the 4.12 330, you are bogging the heck out of it past 60 ft. even with a 1.50, if the clutch is right, you can get 5s.......,
we were doing it all weekend with the bike I was tuning......, just had a hair of trouble getting the 3.80s, but then it was gravy......,
60 ft is less important than 330........, you are still in first gear past 330......., and you might trip the marker with the back wheel and not the front......
Look at my avatar......., that was a mid 5.8 1/8 mile, and low 3.8 330......., but, the 60 ft was 1.49........, with the back wheel, just after the photo was taken.......
get a good 330, forget 60 ft for a while...., put a whole package together, then fine tune it......
Get you a multi stage, and let me tune it.......

I just dont see how a lock up clutch will help my 330ft time. My 60ft is great, but my 330 is lacking, its not bogging, i need a shift light to make sure i hold it out through the gears and if that doesnt fix it.....i have no idea....NITROUS!!!!!

If your rpm drops any, after you let go of the clutch, it is bogging........, the rpms should go up until you shift........, if not, it is hurting your 330...........PERIOD.
But what would I know........

Before you think i didnt believe you, i was just stating what i feel with my bike, so dont get defensive. A lock up clutch is a pretty extream when it comes to a street/strip bike i think. But i will consider it.

Its extreme for my bike. I dont NEED it for the HP side, but I use one like a lot of people use one........, to get out of the hole as smooth as possible........
Sunday, I ran 3 passes, identical ets, back to back to back.......
Really depends on how serious you want to be........
I live for race day.......
Until hunting season, then I hunt Sat.,, race Sun, then when season is over, hunt both days........lol
