SlowerThanYou Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 DMX, 2nd run on asphalt goes 9.92 driving thru the clutch badly. We tried to detune it, because Angel is not licensed and only legal to run 10.00. Well, it went 9.84 driving thru the clutch again. Need to do some clutch tuning & a final gear change. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a clutch tuner and was wondering if you could explain the term "driving through the clutch?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slipping badly, needs more base pressure/more spring. The 60' time really sucked for the ET it was running, but was really making up for it between 60' & 330'. It was running deep into the 3.80s in 330'. We have been 3.60 in 300' on sand. The asphalt set-up is currently running a 2.0 final gear ratio & probably needs a 1.80 - 1.90 final ratio. It gets pretty tricky to make that ratio & the clutch right for 1/4 mile. Angel has done a great job with the DMX. He has totally changed the timing, dome set-up, some huge lectrons & changed back cone on the pipes. Plus, a bunch of smaller changes. We plan on changing out the beefy/heavy rods that K&T wanted in the motor. Actually, that whole K&T motor set-up has been redone by Angel.

SlowerThanYou Posted May 22 Author Report Share Posted May 22 The reason I came back & updated this thread is because............the DMX is coming home to Daddy! I hope to share some of DMX's accomplishments, why it's coming back to me & what's the plan(s) for future of the infamous DMX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowerThanYou Posted May 28 Author Report Share Posted May 28 Thanks to Angel taking over the DMX project & totally redoing the porting, domes, pipes, just to name a few things. The DMX ended up running low 3.60s & a couple high 3.50s in the 300'. This wasn't the intended purpose for the motor, but it kind of went that direction. Somewhere around 2017 the DMX went back to asphalt 1/4 mile with the last time being ran was 2019. It runs consistent low 9.80s. More to come, not that it really matters.
