tips to make the stock clutch last longer?
well i did my turbo swap a bout a month ago, and about 2 weeks ago is when i was finally able to tune it on low boost (16psi). the first pull we did, the clutch slipped in third a little. i really dont have money to be buying a new clutch + paying install so i tried taking it easy for a week. i read the sticky in this section about shifting close to 3k. thats how ive been driving lately. well this week i started getting on the car a little and the clutch is starting to slip more. i raced an srt8, and it slipped a little bit not too much, last week. but yesterday, i raced an srt4, and the clutch slipped almost all of second and almost all of third. ive read about some glazing with our clutch but idk what that is. so anyone have any tips on how i can get my clutch to hold better??

i didn't supercharge my car to drive like a grandma either. so i beat the **** out of it and blew the engine and ruined the clutch... it will fail if you don't baby it until you get a new one

Join the Club, Just Tuned my LNF and now my Stocker wont even let me go past 14PSI or 1/2 Throttle, I just ordered a SPEC 3+ with Aluminium flywheel, I cant stand not being able to step on it! Like you said when I step on it(WOT) In 2nd or 3rd it never Engages until its almost time for me to shift again, lol

Been over two months and my stock clutch is still holding fine. Im on about 19psi right now, untill the clutch starts slipping and them im going to upgrade and up the boost. 69k total on my clutch, maybe about 3k turbo swapped. I don't go wot in the lower rpms and maybe its also my driving habits. Been driving stick for 10 years so maybe that has something to do with it.
