Yes, it slipped. I'll be getting a new clutch
And yes it was everywhere when I launched. All that will be addressed. Remember first time out, so there will be bugs to address.

No, 25psi. It slipped on the dyno at 29psi so we let it cool and backed it down to 25lbs. And thats what I ran at the track.

Yeah, what are you going to go with?

Don't you have the act 6 puck unsprung? That's what I have. I'm going to be turning mine up to 30+ psi this winter when Kan comes back to St.Louis. I'll probably need a different clutch too

You may not. My situation was kinda my fault. I had the clutch adjusted too far out and it was fully engaging which then baked it. No biggie, I'd rather bake a clutch than a motor or turbo, ya know...
