Yeah, and in doing so you destroyed your stock clutches. I think you missed the part where the OP stated: "Anything you can think of instead of spending my money on e85? I would like to make my car a little faster than my 370z and not ruin the sst."

I actually destroyed my clutches stock turbo on E85 making 285whp/310wtq on a mustang dyno. The 370z is making around 330hp to the crank, around 290whp. Around those numbers you will see clutch slippage no matter what turbo you are on. It could be because I beat on the car at autocross, but around 300-325wtq is where the sst gets mad... i hit it on stock turbo, not the EF-3. To clarify, the Ef-3 is going in with the built 600hp sst in a month when it gets back from jacks, and getting retuned. the way the sst reacts also has to do with the tune ON the sst. the clamping force and line pressures were upped to gain the maximum out of the clutches, also shortening the life. However, the stock tune was not aggressive enough for the amount of power i was making... the RA is a good platform, but you have to pay to play imo

that is NOT even remotely a proper comparison-

MAP EF3- is a EVO X variant requiring a change of manifold/intake/downpipe/lines etc--- and is LARGER than an evo X turbo

EVO X turbo is- same requiring a change of manifold/intake/downpipe/lines etc

RAD LITE- is a STOCK modified RALLIART turbo- not meant to compete with a LARGER evo X turbo at all- if that is the case- then we offer our BBX lite/full etc--- and also for anyone wanting to stay in the RALLIART turbo frame/housing we offer a RAD full which is belting our more power and quicker spool than a STOCK EVO X turbo-

just clarifying-

First of all you will not see clutch slippage no matter what turbo at those numbers!! Im above those numbers and not once have I had a problem with the clutch. Ive been told numerous times by many tuners that up to 350 wtq is safe and so far I have no reason to doubt them. Ive been at these numbers for quite some time with 60k miles on my car so it gets driven often. Second, if your running 330 hp thats more like 280 whp. Just wanted to clear those things up.
