Clutch question
Was wondering how long most of you give it before you start to "beat" on a new clutch. Such as hard launches and such that will put a lot of strain on it. I have a dual friction center force clutch. Also wondering what type of times people are running with these and if it will hold the power. Thanks for the info guys!

Re: Clutch question
You've launched it with slicks and no clutch slip also? Thanks for the reply
Re: Clutch question
Im using standard spec 3 clutch, gave it about 50 miles before I took it to track at the advise of other users who had trouble breaking theirs is.. I was getting tons of chatter prior, that first day smoothed it right out. Spec says that was the worst thing I could have done, though the clutch held strong for 3-4 years of serious drag abuse. Current clutch had about 150 mile on prior to track, launching at 6000 with 470 to the wheels. Will be spraying it soon on top of that.
