Paging Pathogen/token V6/Jen or anyone trapping 90+ on stock clutch

Jsut a quick question...

I found you do have a 5-speed but but you have a Centerforce dual friction listed with the Virus's site.


Did you ever run the supercharger with the stock clutch?

I only ask, because ever since I threw my 275/40/17 in the rear, if I am in a setup that traps 93 mph and higher, I light up the clutch at the launch and on the 1-2 shift bad. I had a few problems with the 1-2 shift on my stock 235s, when I was trappin 95 mph.

But if I am in a less hp setup it runs fine chirps gears, and I have no problems with all the tests(5th gear, floor it at low rpm)

I am just curious if its just me killing another clutch(since I have a tendency to do that) or if its just the clutch cannot take the hit of the power?

At AIS, I trapped 90-92.5 on a stock clutch with at least 59000 miles on it.

The car has 97000. I bought it at 38000 and haven't changed the clutch.

The Virus was on a stock clutch until earlier this year. It slipped a bit, but that was because of the mileage on it.

Yeah I trapped 98 on my stock one.

It was slipping in the top of 3rd, and since that drag day back in october, i've been babying it and installing a SPEC THREE.
Updates at the end of may.

Stock I trapped over 93mph, and it held like that close to 35K miles. It let go when I started praying it, no suprise!

What she said.

Everyone rags on the stock clutch... I had no problems with mine for 30k miles NA and then 50k miles supercharged. Granted, the Centerforce is MUCH nicer, but the stock one held the power no problem. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Its just you dude. I'm still running my stock clutch. Though now that I'm closing in on 80k I could use a new one. Especially if I want to Drag Race a bunch more.

I have 60k on my stock clutch and was pushing close to 92 MPH. I had no problems this weekend and was definately hitting it hard.
