i think this might get me there safley?
heres pics of that clutch i was telling you about, they also took .05 out of the flywheel surface for a little slip during NLS's to save the tranny
then they also took 3.5 lbs out of the flywheel on the motor side towards the outer most portion to eliminate some rotating mass but still retain drivability with the unsprung hub copper puck full race disk 
he said he basically set it up to slip for a mili sec to put some heat in the disk then it will hit. instead of super tough pressure plate and a medium compound disc which gives harsh engagement such as the exedy hyper single.
the disk is a life long disc with replaceable pucks, but he recommended i beat the **** out of the disc and he guarantees it forever. right of the bat he wants me to "lap it in" he said to "rev the **** out of it and slip the clutch alot, put some heat in it" lol he said he usually ties em to a pole in the shop and just drags the clutch about half throttle half clutch for a few secs at a time and that ensures the whole disc makes contact with the surface area as opposed to just the edges of the puck which tend to be higher.
i have to break the motor in first so he said just ride the clutch alot every time i take off till the motor broke in then do the above procedure.

Very nice man, I wish I had the money when I built the motor to do those sleeves, I'd be at 650+whp already (yeah I have a spare gt4088r sitting in my kitchen lol).

true true, that turbo has teh potential for 500+whp (trust me lol). Thing held up great in my car and was still in good shape when I pulled it out.
Part of me actually wants it back to go turbo again lol. but I think I might buy back my old 65 impala to make a nice BBC street cruiser

the beast is alive and kicking, the clutch is kicking too... my ass that is, its pretty harsh but if enough finesse is used on the peddle it doesn't chatter.
