Yes, I ran 35psi and the clutch started slipping. I then dialed the boost down to 25 and as soon as I shifted into 3rd on the next pass, the 3rd gear broke. Now changing the clutch and tranny and should be running at the track on Friday and on Sunday if all goes well.

sucks that you broke it @ an event 
but @ least you went out there and had some fun have you thought of shimming that that pig so it stops slipping

Manny you know now you just let out another secret about shimming the pressure plate. You will have some explaining to do soon.
Imagine if everyone knew that a stock pressure plate shimmed properly is almost as strong as most of the aftermarket stuff.

It's a pull type clutch. Plus it's only the regular pos ACT anyway. I have put every size shim on that sucker and it still did not hold any decent power.

So........is there anyway to have a clutch on a stock tranny that slips a little at first and then holds the power after so there is less shock on the tranny and rear?

You are right. I had NO idea what shimming was and was not about to ask, I was waiting for someone else to ask and then Crispeed explained it! I think we need to get you guys in one room and torture you to get all the secrets out before you croak lol.
