And my fastest 60 FT are all on the stock clutch, but I also haven't been to the track with the new clutch more then once...
The main thing is you now have an awesome clutch that will kick some rear, .

The other thing is that once you get your car back, you are going to kick some rear no matter what anyway, .

I am allready saving for a Jet Turbine for mine, . I will not be beat, . J/K

My new Clutch is going in next week, Thursday. After a 1500 miles break in, It will be ready for after the track re-opens mid January.

But I thought your clutch was slipping way when you went to the track and ran it for the first time a couple or 3 months ago . This is not possible if Oscar pulled 1.65 60ft, with two back to back 11sec runs.

Excuses? Please.. You dont know me well enough to say that, i have PLENTY of seat time on Evos.. I dont need to make excuses to not run. I dont really go to the track much as i used to because i dont wana spend all my time at the track and i was taking a breather from the whole car scene

Manny the clutch did slip that time, the car went 12.8@ 111, Scott was there that day at the track and he witnessed when my clutch slipped bc i went to talk to him right after about it, plus it was like 95 degrees out that day and i ran right after an hour drive and making runs on the street to set the boost. I dont know how the clutch still held up after a 1.65 60ft with that kinda power, im sure the weight reduction helped with less drag and colder weather allowing for it to cool down faster

I actually just had a conversation with Terry Earwood, he is a record setting professional drag racer, he claims that when he races to win, with street cars, he can and does blow clutches in 1 run.
I don't really want to try that but I guess it is common in that world.

Oh and Chase, beat the SHT out of his car to blow the clutch so fast, it just wasn't racing, but it was a damn good time.

I would suggest you go with the 6 puck sprung hub option they offer.
