I would "have no beef" if he posted three runs pre-mod and three runs post-mod. Heck. give me one pre and I would have never initially posted!

it is the replacement trans, the original failure was just an unlucky fluke, expecially when you consider that it happened at 4600 ft elevation right off the bat at it's first event, I think we were only getting 2.5 sec times there in the practice, that's how much the power was affected by the elevation
been meaning to post some pics of the parts, not pretty
the clutch is original has shown no signs of distress

I mean...a crack junkie doesn't necessarily have a clue about what the crack is or how the crack got made...he just likes it a lot. :p

gtech is accurate (IMO) for comparing new data to old data that it has recorded.
By that I mean that if you rung a 15.2 sec 1/4 mile all the time with the gtech, and then do some mods and run a 15.0 all the time then id say you have prolly droped .2 secs of your 1/4 mile.
I have taken the car to the weigh station and programed that weight into the gtech (in the miata) and then run at the strip, and the gtech was about .3 secs off, but it was consitently .3 secs off, its all about how its set up.

Yeah, the eds at C&D were very impressed with how even the cheapest accelerometer based timer were very consistant (in my recollection). Enough if i remember correctly to say that you got 1.3% faster over a specific distance, if you had before and after numbers.

Do you want to make decisions based only on the best...likely not...but you don't just ignore a piece of data simply because it's the best of a sample.
Glad to hear that obtuseness and back-handedness came through clearly

See, now we are getting somewhere. But 6.1 -> 5.5 is a huge difference if it was just because of the car, even if it is relative. Are you sure you aren't just getting better off the launch? Lit values for stock 0-60 are 5.9 with 5K drop. 1/4 mile times are 14.5 sec best (is that Polak's time? Forgive if I am wrong) and 14.9-14.8 average based on maybe 4 posts that I can recall and write-ups. I think C&D had a long term test recently. There should have been a stack of data in there.

8k? Did they go ahead and drop it off a bridge too? Just to see if the air bags deployed?
Funny, I recall a Mazda ad that says "other sport cars would be toast if they saw 9k RPM." In the text it uses 5.9 sec for 0-60. Yet they would have to have voided the warrenty on the car that did it, if they abused it with a 8k RPM clutch drop.
sorry off topic. Just annoyed.

TeamRX8: Just so you know...when I made the comment on the bottom of the last page about being on the second tranny...I wasn't being serious. I was actually joking/guessing. I didn't even know you had gone through a tranny already. I can't say I'm surprised though now...haha. :p
