So here is my clutch set up as it sits with 8 tooth drivers and stock gears
Please comment

Primary 8DN 00 52 g red spring
Secondary 47 degree black spring with red wrap 6 (can't see inner)
 

your sled is not all that it could be with 8 tooth drivers & stock gearing. You are geared way too low. And don't say the speedometer says you're going 120mph or something because your speedo is also incorrect with 8 tooth drivers. You need to re gear to get back to where you were. Been there done that. put a gps or radar on it, you're probably only going like 80mph. get the gearing correct, then clutch it.
 
Yes speed is off quite a bit
When is reads 110 mph the GPS says 93

Should I change gearing or clutching?
With the gears that are in it now, it should help off the line traction...no?

So the consent is gears first?
Leave the clutch alone
 
Ok
What should I do for 600 foot drags that are in two weeks?
 
maybe not go, unless you got some serious time and a variety of gears and clutch components to try. make sure all your variables for your adjustment comparisons stay the same.
 
I'm sure I can borrow some stuff to try
I just need some good ideas

8 tooth drivers aren't ideal for drag racing or speed running. Only real reason to put 8 tooth drivers in is to gain clearance for a taller lug track. I'm sure not many guys have any setups for 8 tooth drivers for drag racing. Good Luck
Like Isaid earlier put 9 tooth drivers back in it.
