Sure go for it

I vote a new stock clutch.
Both my dad and I are running a K04R at well over 380whp/400wtq on ethanol with zero slip issues. My car has the original 59K mile stocker (been tuned and driven spiritedly since 31K when I purchased it) and I was actually able to scratch 3rd gear before my new NT555 G2's***. My dad blew his transmission by trying to NLS into 5th(what a dip shit, right? LOL) and when he replaced the transmission, he put in a brand new stock clutch and I cannot for the life of me get it to slip. Also, stop going WOT in 5th. 4th gear is plenty good up to 130-135MPH. Anything over that, stop. You have no reason to throw 5th unless you like to unnecessarily stress your motor/transmission. *** Before anyone tells me that it was my clutch slipping, I have the logs to verify the wheel spin. I know what clutch slip looks like. |

:lol: I NLS to 5th every time I'm racing on the highway. Most of the roll racing I do is to 40-140+mph. But I'm literally trying to break my tranny :lol:
My pop had no business trying to NLS into 5th with a trans on its last leg at 78K miles. Dude was NLSing the car tuned/ethanol tuned since he bought it (over 10K miles worth of daily, 10x+ NLS) and finally said "NOPE!". That's why I said he was a dip shit and if you asked him, he'd agree :lol::lol::lol: |

Thanks again for all the replies. I hear ya with 5th wot but its hard to hit 130-140 on a morning commute lol. here are the broken sway bar pics. It was just cracked in a few places however I just got home and made a hard right and heard the snap. It looks rusty so maybe that had helped it along. I do think maybe I will go GMPP for the clutch. I looked around at a lot of posts and everyone has good things to say. I just don't want to under rate the clutch and then be limited in the future if I decide to bump up higher in the MODS.
