FYI, I ran my car probably 60 passes last year, all with at least 6000 launch RPM and mid 1.4 60fts. I pulled the clutch out over the winter expecting to change it, but it looked brand new so I slapped it back in and have put another 10-15 on it this year so far.

I'd suggest looking into AFM, Pro-motion, centerforce, or mcleod, but stay away from the SPEC III

Thats good to know. My philosophy has always been to go easy on the cam and overkill the clutch but I dont want a clutch that un-necessarily tears up parts.

I will look into the AFM clutch.

Thanks,
