Recently pulled my motor to port the exhaust and dump the hurleys in favor of stock seals in order to run more boost.

After ~2.5 years, 44k miles, ~100 passes down the strip, and lots of hard and aggressive driving, my clutch/flywheel combo is in great shape. Clutch has plenty of meat left, and the flywheel has one sole itt-bitty crack. I was very surprised...was dreading having to replace either.

Just FYI .

 

hrm...my ACT S/S clutch went bye-bye in 6mo's, 5k miles on the street and 15 passes at the track. 3/4 of the plate was glazed shiney and there were burn marks on the flywheel...lol...oh and a nice big white cloud left 1/2 ways down the track that I looked back to see after I realized I was already at redline in 4th and only at the 1/8 mile marker...LOL

I have 15K on my s/s clutch and resurfaced stock flywheel and I have really abused this thing at the track. I bet I have 60 launches at the track + a pre-launch dry burnout on this clutch.

 

i love my ACT. Act extreme pp and rb six puck disk. no problems yet

had the act full race extreme pp and six puck on my TII no problems with about 50 runs on it either

 

rich when did you do 100 passes on the drag strip ?? lol

 

I have to admit my S/S clutch was holding just fine... until I turned up the boost to 17psi on my GT35/40 w/Pineapple Motor (almost 500rwhp estimated). The first pass I made at 17psi smoked the clutch. Guess I exceeded the 400 ftlb of torque rating on the clutch and she gave up on me...LOL

PS I've got the same setup as Vosko now and love it..."Act extreme pp and rb six puck disk. "

Nocab is learning a new concept this year....moderating power output by using the right foot!

 

i thought my gas pedal only works when it hits the floor

 

That statement reminded me that once I thought I sprained my ankle when I MASHED the petal down and my foot slide off the pedal sideways and twisted all around...lol

Kinda like the guy who busts his shifter going into 3rd and roughs his knuckles up on the dash...lol

Well, I've owned my FD for almost 4 years and have put over 66k miles on her. You do the math .

i've owned my FD for over 2 years and 6k miles and put over 25 drag passes on it!!!! what's your point ??? i'm just wondering did you really make 100 runs on the car ????

 

ive owned my fd for almost 4 years and its never been near a dragstrip

mike

 

um 100 run on any clutch will not hold up, more like 10 runs?
