The crystal red curse mine started slipping as well, never floored it in 5th but it will slip quite a bit on a 3rd gear 60 roll on and when shifting to third (no nls) 11k miles

id venture to say it could be slipping. Putting down a lot of torque my friend. Does it slip when you do a WOT 1-2 shift?

And wow, your car goes from 3000rpms to 37000rpms! My god! Thats a helluva tune!

Never never never go WOT under or around 3000rpm in 3rd or higher on a stock clutch. If your decently tuned it will slip.
I wait until 4000rpm or try to roll into the gas and it still slips.

If your not driving/shifting the car right + 300 HP + WOT in high gears = Alot of stress on stock clutch and very little room for error.

A new clutch from the dealer will just do the samething soon enough. Anything over 360ish wtq is pressing the stock clutch. We can dial back the lower area a bit if you're worried, just stop by.
