The clutch tried it's best. It just couldn't clamp down the power. Anything over 10 lbs boost and she would slip. He backed the timing down to an anemic 13* and it still made 728 on 10 lbs at 6,000. James says that's even a low representation because of conflicting dyno speed and it should be more like 750.
So once we decided it was pointless to keep making pulls we unstrapped and drove around....at 2am this morning.
That's when we made the fatal mistake of a full power run on the highway in 3rd from 3k. Clutch slipped at the top as I was then shifted into to fourth and the clutch pedal went to the floor...no throwout bearing.
So that was fun.
We were on 287 near Blue Mound and luckily I live over there. I was able to exit the highway and get it into 3rd. Blew a couple (4) stop digns , made as couple turns in 3rd with manual steering and got to my neighborhood.
Things get interesting here. To get in the gayed you have to pull up to it and use a clicker. No can do on the run much less in 3rd gear. I ended up having to kill it and we pushed, up hill. Leg day came to haunt me. Once we got inside it starts to get down hill so I put in 1st, James pushed, some more and I was able to get it started. James had to jump in from a run.
Well that was fun. Transmission is coming out today to see what happened to the bearing.
4r70w is ready to pick up. just need to build the converter.
James thinks there is a ton more in the motor's combo. He wants me to add another wastegate to better control boost. I need to mount up that heat exchanger add ice next time. There is an easy 1,000 HP there.
Fuck you. We're going to Costco.

Not even 12 hrs from dyno to jack stands.
Errrrg
Blown bleeder line sidelined our fun last night. But at least it isn't worse like a blown bearing. This line is cheap to fix.
My guess is that it got pinched and/or the pressure plate caught it. I had the bleed end secured so not sure how it happened but it did.Fuck you. We're going to Costco.
