Comp has done it again an even better Stg 2 clutch option
1st Drag Review of the New comp unsprung clutch
Update on clutch.
Still loving it for its all around quality. As I expected if you really want to launch it a lot you will need a little more respect then you would with a multi disc.
Of course for the avg guy who does not drag alot a full face single disc is a great clutch to start with since it so easy to launch. Racing with this clutch the worst I think you could do to the drive train is a burnt clutch unlike a muti disc that is driven wrong that can toss alot of hard parts on the ground.
I did a total 11 passes with my last 4 really being a hot lap. The fact that my car is a 2.0 with a 4.0 final drive makes it really hard on clutches, its either lots of clutch, spin or bog. I ran a few 11.5s and on my last good pass I was able to do NLTS the 3-4 off the top end 8500rpm revlimter and it felt like butter and ran a 11.2@126, but my next pass right after that the clutch did not feel as smooth.
At that point I parked the car and made a few passes in the CTS-V. At the end of the day I adj the clutch in the EVO a little higher and it felt back to normal. I plan on taking it out to our track again this Friday to see if all my back to back passes put the hurt on the clutch or not.
In recap still the best shifting and driving single disc to date. I feel if you are on much bigger then a 30r turbo (Red,Green) and truly like to drag race alot it might not be the happiest clutch. Still hard for me to judge that due to my final drive though. I feel after this weekend racing I will have a final conclusion.
Here is a video from the weekend. We missed the 11.2 video but I have the in car and time slip.

No slipping problems. I could say I had a lock out problem at the end of the day but it was supper hot from back to back passes. After I re adj the clutch it felt normal again (moved it up) I plan on racing it again this Friday to make sure I did not hurt it from the back to back abuse.
Still debating on sprung vs unsprung stg2 for DD and very light track use. I'll be tracking once maybe twice a year. If anything I'm more worried on the added stress from an unsprung vs sprung. I know you guys are pushing for unsprung, but I'm 99.9% DDing at low power levels (350/320 ER Tuned).
Sprung along with their flywheel. Right now just TBE but going green and only keeping torque down to 370 for the stock block so I'm not worried.
Found out I had an exedy twin in it before so drive ability actually seems nicer than what I was used to even with the lightweight flywheel.

2nd update
Ran 11 more passes this Friday night. I was on a little less hp then previous weekend. I was running constant 11.6-11.8@122mph. After melting her down with back to back passes last weekend it seemed like if I wanted it to shift nice I needed to weight about 30min between passes.
So if you over launch this clutch it will keep holding and launching fine but it will lose its ability to shift like it did before you burnt it down.
I dont see this clutch holding any different HP then the sprung version.
I am still loving the clutch for its all around capabilities though.
