I'm anxious to here what clutch suggestions you get, I had to take out my Zoom dual disk temporarily until I get some resolution on it. Depending on whether they warranty it will decide if I'm staying with it or looking for something else. The Zoom Dual Disk definitley wouldn't meet your criteria though, it held good but it was a leg breaker and was fairly on/off in nature...

I put my stock one back in so we'll see how if it lasts long enough to get me through the season, shouldn't be too much of a problem since we really only have about a month left here. All I did was a quick dress of the pressure plate and flywheel to clean of some hot spots and through it back in.

Taking car in soon. Since my clutch fluid doesn't get dirty they are thinking I might have an air pocket in my clutch lines. So they will try and bleed it first.

yeah, the new camaro said he was trapping 2-3mph slower in the 1/4from the previous weekend we where at ennis with the same mods...comparing 2 slips where I ran 98mph in the 1/8 at both and the clutch stuck trying to go into 4th, so I just coasted to the 1/4 and trapped 4mph slower at crandall...it only makes your runs that much more impressive! If I'm in town this weekend, I'm going to Ennis Satuday as I got the bigger injectors and hardened shaft now.
