Oh men! thats what happen I though it was 290ft torque and is actually 290whp and 240ft torque. So I was probably pushing pass that amount with a 75 shot. I tested the 75 shot before but with the vehicle moving and it felt pretty good

did you spray coming out of the hole? if so.. thats your problem.

give the clutch another month of normal street use to bring it back... and by warming up the clutch for spray you have to be on a roll.. like 2nd gear @ 3500 rpms then activate..


competition clutch brother..look it up.

I'm definitely not giving up on this clutch until is unserviceable.
Now I got a question for you HKS P10 GT
what kind of times have you run with your P10 on the 1/4 mile with or without NOS?

your left leg will though. I have also noticed that on a few cars I have pulled apart that ran XT plates, they all have normal rod and main bearing wear but alot of thrust bearing wear. Im thinking that the higher pedal pressure is attributing to most of the wear.

Look into Clutch Masters. They can hold alot of power without a super stiff plate petal pressure.

Yea look into something NOT a street disc if you are launching and spraying. I got a brand new clutch masters street disc and pp in my g20. I cant even launch the car stock without the p.o.s. slipping. Now on the other hand my ACT hd pp and 6 puck sprung disc hold all day no matter what on my turbo car and that this is over or just about at 300whp. Yes, your left leg may regret it but I got used to the harder pp and now I always know it will grab when I want to go.

OK just went today again to the track, did 3 runs spraying 75's on 2nd and 3rd gears but could only run 15 flats. I'm having issues launching, in 1st gear even without N20 the clutch seems to slip only during the launch, it's kind of hard to explain cause the lightweight flywheel makes 1st gear so quick that I have to let go off the gas a little that way I dont slip in 2nd once I catch up speed it grabs good.
I will be deploying for a year to Afghanistan soon so I'll be saving money for when I come back build my bottom end and a good clutch for 100 shots+ of N20. My goal is to run at least 13.00 on a heavy P10

you glazed the clutch disk. You need to pull the tranny and resurface the fw. I bet the fw has hot spots that need to be cleaned. I would also recommed changing the fw to one with a different friction surface.

well all that won't happen until I come back from a year tour in Afghanistan, makes no sense to do it know and let the car sit for a year.

Is your car going into a storage lot? Need someone to store it for you?

I just read thru this and realized that I'm at the upper limit of my XTPP and 6 puck sprung disc setup Looks like I need to do some shopping.
