Much appreciated! Thanks

I installed Bl4des' clutch in his SS/SC, you're welcome to contact him and ask his impressions. Anyone can really. We are more then capable to handle that kind of work

pff hell no. Thats a wear item. I think if you are under 10-12k miles maybe. Just have BYT turn your torq down and leave the stock clutch in.

Exactly!

Those are your options. Either get a better clutch or we can dial it down a bit in the lower RPMs so you can do lower RPM pulls like you want.

Did you start shifting at or above 3k? That's what I do if I notice a lot of slip, I'll shift at at least 3k for a week or 2. Then it holds slightly better lol.

No, not if you're tuned. Also the clutch warranty is only like a year or 12k miles. Even tho I don't think they'd replace it unless it completely failed after only like 5k miles maybe.

Yeah I always shifted above 3k unless cops are nearby

Then one time 2nd gear it slipped to redline right away. Clutch never slipped again after that lol

Lol yeah I normally shift at 2500 or above, never lower. But when I see a cop I cruise by at like 40 mph in 5th.

It all comes down to "knowing" how to drive your car.
