I'm workin' on it.
Just need 2 seconds without the phone ringing and without a twin turbo vette to build...........................okay one of those is done.
The car is an absolute animal.
Thanks to TTi for the awesome Stage X kit
Thanks to Rodney @ RPM for a wicked trans
Thanks to the guys here at our shop for a great engine that took a **** kicken over and over on the dyno, and especially to Nolan for the awesome tune.

Mine holds 700 rwhp just fine. More than that is just stupid for the street, so it doesn't concern me!

Your application has as much to do with what you are using the clutch for as the RWHP does.
If someone is "running around" on the street with 900 RWHP they are not going to have clutch problems because they will do nothing but spin the tires.
My point is that tires play big into this. Also they usually talk torque when rating the clutch.
I hope to be over 700 RWHP and RWT on my setup.
If I had to do a clutch once a year, I would be ok with that with significant time at the drag strip. I think I am a realist when it comes to life of components and what things will handle though.

Ive seen 500rwhp be too much for the Exedy if you drag race it. Was just wondering if any of the high hp people on here with the Exedy actually race their cars.

There have been some people who have had problems with their Exedy clutches. I can't think of any clutch that someone hasn't broken at some point in time.
For every story of an Exedy failure there are several more of success. FWIW.

I have talked to several people with Exedy's that have had issues.
I can tell you that in my opinion with this clutch break in is everything and hot lapping or any sort of overheating is a serious NO NO.
I have raced mine.. my car with about 600 HP and 500 RWT... I have personally had no problems.
But as Earl pointed out he has had some issues. That being said I don't think the people who have chimed here are all inclusive of everyone that has an Exedy clutch, either positive or negative experience.
Like I stated above the people that I know of that had issues were either from hot lapping or improper break in.

That is another question I have..
Do you run a stock ZO6 slave and master cylinder or are you running adjustable and/or modified parts?
This is another thing that he guy from Exedy told me was a big no for their setup.. he told me not to touch it, and I have not.

My shifting days are over (well for the Z anyways). RPM A4 Baby!!!!!! The Exedy experience was partly to blame for that. I guess I can say one good thing about them.
