Bogging. Need to improve my 60'

[Hotrodder]

Haha I'd love to. So couple questions.

What does the sway bar removal actually do and how does it help?

Can someone share a video of a perfect/close to perfect clutch slipped launch? Because I have tried doing the heel toe shit and my feet are too big so I just want to see exactly what you all mean by slipping the clutch or side stepping the clutch.

Thanks a lot for the input guys, much appreciated.

Weight transfer on the sway bar removal, I believe.
Here is a vid of what I believe to be a perfect high rpm clutch slip at 0:33 in the video...

Front sway bar removal gives better weight transfer to the rear. And here's a 6k side step/clutch dump launch (prob less power than you, but more suspension mods)

 

[Hotrodder]

Whoa. That's a sick video.

I'm thinking I'll have to put together a winter shopping list. To start I want a short throw, one piece drive shaft and drag wheels/tires.

Being stock clutch and stock rear end, will launching that hard just blow something apart on me?

Slipping the clutch protects the drivetrain. Here's my 5000rpm clutch slip on 19" DRs-

Putting in that stick shift work like you should!!

 

[Hotrodder]

Very nice. I was actually VERY happy with my shifts on my pass. It was my first time power shifting at the track and I thought I nailed it. It was a lot more fun now that I'm starting to learn actual technique haha

Do you recall around what rpm you were bogging at what rpm caused you to spin?

Everyones car is different you will find the range at the rental grasshopper!

 

[Hotrodder]

That's the thing about it. I was attempting to launch about 3200 but due to nerves and lack of skill I can't tell if I would spike or drop right before launch. So I may have actually launched at 3000-3500. I bog pretty much 3500 and less and I spin over 3500 on the street tires.

On an adjustable front sway bar would the softest setting be best if I didnt want to remove it? Too much work. Rear setting? Been thinking about this for a while and thought it was good time to ask.

Pfffft, welcome to Bog City!

Some show. Little go. Haha. Loved this pic

Cool picture... Byron, right?

Yessir

 

[cm581978]

updates?

 

[Five Oh Brian]

Again, more rear end gearing will solve the bog. And with a proper drag radial, it'll hook up and go.

I have a 373 gear. 410 wouldn't be much difference. I'm thinking a better wheel/tire setup as suggested and launching higher rpm will improve it. Just waiting for a money fairy or a good deal to pop up on a set. I'll probably get one more track day in before winter so hopefully I'll find or borrow something before then and update the time.

 

[Five Oh Brian]

All of your mods are geared towards higher rpm's. You have NO bottom end power. You need torque multiplication to launch the car without bogging - trust me on this. 4.30's or 4.56's will work wonders getting the car off the line and getting you into your powerband, which you moved upwards a lot with your current combination of mods. Just have to do the math to see which gearset will optimize 4th gear thru the traps based on your redline, trans ratios, and tire height.

That may be but I drive this car daily also. Or my wife does when I'm not aside from winter so 4.30 or 4.56 is too steep to do that. I don't hit 4th gear on the current setup and I trap 106 so it's not too terrible. But if I get the 60' down like you say, I'll have to hit 4th?
