Clutch Slip

So I have read around before and saw similar stories. But Last night I went to get my car dynoed and at about 3k clutch would slip.. Now when i drive it and get on it on the highway i have noticed it before, but was never bad. So Trying to get opinions what clutch I should get in the future?

Lol... Specs dont hold up, clutchmasters wont either, zzps have been used and.good results. The hypersingles suck all around. Ky clutch is proven and is a cheap route.. 300-400 shipped for a 650+ rated ft lbs clutch. 1 year warranty great customer service. Fast shpping, and ect.

The hyper isn't too bad and the only problem I have is chatter when its cold. It has taken everything that I have thrown at it and its stiff but if your not a weak ***** you get used to it in a couple days. The zzp would be my other choice.

sub'd as well. i think my clutch is starting to slip......seems to only do it in 4th and 5th gear.......1-3 still seem to hold ok.......I was thinking hypersingle just outta the fact that i don't have any shops around me that can resurface my flywheel and the stock one is almost 700 bucks.....

So it's between Ky clutch & ZZP

so lets here it.

I want the good the bad and the ugly between these two.
What's your experience folks?

Which one will last the long run?

Lol the Synapse Turbo SS made almost 400 ft lbs of torque on the stock clutch, was abused daily, and never once had an issue with the clutch slipping.

Depends on what u want the only make the 8 puck for people who need them since theyre.so harsh on engagement. .... All u will ever need is the stage 3-4 lol. We tested the setup again to see what the system would hold. Pressure plate held to 2000 ft lbs friction disc. 650-700 ftbls without slippage.
