But the trap speed is not all of it. It must match the ET. You can have a slower ET and still have
a higher trap speed. Because your picking up more speed at the end of the track and not as fast in the first half of the track. Speed is not measured by how fast your car is going over the finish line. It is measured across a distance. This is why some people see a high trap speed on a slow ET.

But I dont work for GIAC or PES. I just happen to run at the track alot and they
noticed that I can some what race a car. I am friends with garrett and I do some testing but that does not mean I work for him. Well I have never seen any money from it. I guess you can call me a rep but I do that on my own time and I dont get paid for it. I answer questions and let Garrett what people are looking for. I send most of the people to the GIAC dealers. Not just the ones that sponsor my car but the one that is nearest to them. I am not sponsored by AWE in anyway but I do send a lot of customer that way. Same with DSR. They use pics of my car with the FMIC for ads but I have not seen anything from that and I have not asked.

But most of those guys live where, Up north where it is cold and all of their times were done in the
winter. We live in CA where it is much hotter and the tracks are not as fast. I cant wait to lay some real good times down at ATCO and Englishtown soon. Then we will see what this kit can do in the same setting as your top stage 3 kit drive does. Maybe that is why you guys said a fmic was never needs since all your customers at that time were in 50 or lower temps and as you guys found out at Dubwar that just is not going to cut it in 100+ temps we get here in CA.

Well I guess your WRONG. I have been there. In the dead of the summer. Jacksonville to be exact.
I did alot of work on the road. Try LV in the middle of the summer. You will melt just standing in the shade. I worked on cars that were well over 300 degrees inside so I know what heat is.

So if that is true then how...
is that in your previous post you are insenuating that we do not require a fmic because early on our customers were in cooler climates. Do you not understand that we did and do exstensive testing in our climate. Here it is 80+ with high humidity for 8 monthes of the year. Mike I do not want this to be a personal war but please keep the facts striaght.

You have no clue what your talking about do you. It is not really the clutch, it has alot to do with
the track too. Dingster runs at a track that is known for traction. I run at a track that RWD cars are afraid to launch at. Factor in tracks before you open your mouth please.
