The exedy twin isn't "that" good of a clutch. The triple is really the invincible one.

The twin only lasts about 40 launches and then its just an "okay" street clutch.

Congrats Billy. Luke's best times that I found on the stock VIII turbo was an 11.22 at 124.5 at SIR (Pacific Raceway for you youngins). Your trap has been high 125s/126 for a touch now hasnt it?

40 launches over its life time? Or 40 back to back?

Congrats, that is very fast... I have a question though, are you sure the MAP o2 dump netted you a solid 2-4 mph extra on the traps?

no. I'm not positive. but my average was 122 with a few 125's and the last night out i didn't even run under 124 id say something helped. maybe the tires. being the only two changes maybe it was both.

40 launches total and it's toast Twin is an awesome street clutch and I love mine to death but it can't take the extreme heat that the Triple.

thank you. I learned my lesson along with many others that the tripple is the only way to go if you drag frequently.

Truly awesome! Question: What have you done to the drivetrain?

You can also try the ethanol content analyzer.

Was the surging taken care of due to the porting?

Excuse my "newbie-ism" but ninja shifts refer to NLS, right?
