Default New Clutch Installed

Yes, I'm through my 500 mile break in on a new SPEC Stage III + clutch.
The clutch engagement is smooth and it seems to have plenty of clamping force. Now is time to get back to the dyno and see what kind of power I am actually making. New numbers coming soon.

Yes, after my head and intake install, the stock clutch could not hold through the torque peak @ 4800rpm, it would start slipping and burning.

Todd,

Good luck if you get it dyno'd tomorrow. I'll be watching those 7000 hp funny cars and rails tomorrow at the Nationals at E'town. I'll try and telepathy some of their power to your rear wheels.
