the radio.
not sure about your inquiry, but i learned this after my first launch attempt:
dump=bad
slip=good

good luck learning and be prepared just in case something goes south.

parts that will break for doing a 5k clutch dump? Pick anything between the clutch to the Outer CV joint and any and all parts in between.
