Goodies to hold that extra boost.
Overheated the clutch at the track, so Next day made a little trip to that INFAMOUS 3 letter word shop and grabbed some goodies off the shelf....

Not yet, still sporting just the ETD as means for engine control. I'm going to pick one up though. It's selling like HOTCAKES! And works like a charm!

The Street/Strip clutch from ZPI, with a Stock flywheel. The clutch held the power just fine and never slipped. It held all the power I was putting out, but Heatsoaking any clutch will cause them to glaze over and start slipping. I will give the clutch a break from now on after so many runs, as to not repeat the same process again.

LOL...I knew someone would misunderstand me. NO, the clutch will not slip on you after you break it in. If you Heat Soak ANY CLUTCH...it will slip on you after that. Heat makes metal Expand. Once it expands, you can call it a day on that part. Don't Heat Soak your clutch and you will be just fine.
Heat soak done by Multiple Burnouts, bouncing rev limit through 1st gear, before 109 mph passes down the drag strip.

travis, this will be the third clutch that your car has had right?? after hearing about the way you beat your car, and what your power goals will eventually be. you should just save yourself the money and get a really high torque clutch now. that way once kenny gets to your engine, you allredy have a clutch strong enough to hold the power.

CHATTER CHATTER CHATTER... There are many many other options that would yield better track performance AND better streetablity than this clutch.
This is the reason people call you guys fanboys and nut huggers. You'll take ANY product that ZPI sells and assume it is the best in class. Travis, I'm really surprised that you didn't go with another clutch option for your ultimate power goals in mind.
That's just
