Sounds good. If my car is functional by then I'll be bringing it down as well. Was hoping to do the whole thing, but car delays and now work picking up again, I think I'll be required to be around the office that week.

We survived another Powertour. Rain, autoX, drag racing, high speed shenanigans, epic back roads, break downs, road side partys.. Best vacation ever!

The week before powertour we called up Detailingarage.com to take care of some paint correction and prep the car for decals. This years adventures were amazing to say the least. With the Tvs 2300 Magnuson supercharger, new heads, cam combo we knew it was time to get serious about a clutch that could take the abuse. Lucky for us, Centerforce clutch has their DYAD offering capable of holding 1300 ft-lbs of torque. Rather than pulling one from inventory, we called Centerforce to discuss what the car is and its purpose. Thankfully, after some details were discussed. Will Baty (the Centerforce guru) made adjustments to a custom DYAD and had it on the way to our shop. Here are some detail and clutch install pics.













Out with the Ls7 clutch!!





The Ls7 was ok, but after two to three hard pulls it would let go under boost.
the material itself looked ok but the flywheel/pressure plate told another story

So we started the clutch install Thursday morning, it was a blessing we got started early because we found a crack on the tail housing of our T56, which explains the small bit of fluid on the cross member. That set us into a rush to get it fixed, we were scheduled to leave for Gonzales, LA early the next morning.. Thankfully my good friend Jason at Texas Drivetrain Performance isn't far from our shop. I gave him a call and we were on our way to his shop for a last minute T56 refresh!!








That debacle used up 4 hours of day light but we were determined to get it finished and ready for our Louisiana to Kansas Powertour trip.




In all its glory!! The Centerforce DYAD is a serious piece of billet man jewelry..

Flywheel


Clutch 1


Floater


Clutch 2


Pressure plate with custom weights for increased holding capability.


Installed

We wrestled the T56 back into the car, after some choice words and few beers, we had everything together and ready to break-in. It was late, but victory was ours!









The following morning we met several people at Buccee's on our way LA. The chevelle isn't very happy at 60-65 mph, so I teamed up with Gregg from continental tire in his brand new ATS-V cadillac. We ran 80-85mph all the way to Gonzales, with only a few stops for fuel and photo ops.










Some quick math says we averaged 17.3 mpg on this stretch. I'm more than happy with that since we ran it hard here and there. I mean.. It is open road! So why not?!
