It's official, I just have to much power, especially with the new TKO-600 and the lower gear ratio's. Even running slicks, if I'm not careful I'll burn 'em all the way through second. It's not the fast way around the track or down the drag strip.
Frustrating, I'm not sure what to do from here. For the drag strip I'm thinking a THIRD set of wheels so I can run true wrinkle wall drag slicks, instead of the road racing slicks I was running today. They work fine for auto cross, all though, I can still enduce throttle oversteer if I go deep on the loud pedal.
At the drag strip tonight, it was pathetic. It took me four passes to figure out how to apply the throttle just to keep the spin to a minimum. Even then 2nd is pretty crazy, part throttle at best until I get to third. The last 1/8th mile rocks though, pulls like a frieght train once I hook up. My ET is a half second slower than I was running with the top loader with a higher gear ratio. Maybe, a high geared close ratio top loader isn't so bad after all for putting the power to the pavement. Surprising results for me, I was so sure I would be faster with a TKO and lower gear ratio's...
So this fellow racer was explaining to me how I need to modify the air cleaners for a smoother flow, for more power. I'm thinking, trust me, power is not the problem here, got plenty of that.
To much power!
