Just an idea, what if you can put it on a dyno, then see if it loops on the graph?

I think that some springs would help out. Also NTLS will help to keep up the boost. I think I am going to try it soon myself.

I had a brand new Exedy twin that was barely 1 month old in the car when it let go and slipped at the drag strip. The Exedy Twin has proven to not hold the power of some Red setups on multiple cars at this point.

Once the clutch is locked up...it does well. If you slip it... It will become overheated and won't grab after that. On freeway pulls it typically doesn't slip.

And yes I fumed the dyno with the smell of clutch on the last two pulls.

My ACT lasted a decent amount of time on the Red before it started slipping, and it went through my stock turbo and Green.

I'm pretty happy with my QM though. Shifts like butter and hasn't slipped on me at all.

Hope ur not dd that quarter master. if u are good luck. i launched mine maybe 10 times and dd it and it started slipping at about 3.5K. Not to mention drivability was horrible. shifts smooth and quickly but does not last on a dd. track use only imo.

With a 120 mph trap speed, you are probalby only making 400 whp or so, so I don't know how in the world that clutch could be slipping.
