[QUOTE="Jam421, post: 15642892, member: 110985"] I understand this is not a pleasant topic but was wondering if folks shared how / why they broke a motor , clutch , rear, axle etc.... it could be educational . Was it too much HP ... too much HP/PSI on pump gas ....poor choice in cam swap ....rev too high ....AF or poor plug choice ....should've installed a BAP ? Was the final result a refreshed engine or kick butt fully built race motor ? I'm on my 3rd clutch in 11K miles. Stock clutch went at 4K miles after I had the car a few months. I had no idea that would happen but right there on the dyno at 650rwhp GONE. A few times I suspected too many " stupid" launches with TC ON was the culprit. Either way when it cut loose game over. Replacement was Spec II Twin. But I'm convinced the shop that did the install on my '13 did not do the required proper alignment computer flash because 4K later one quadrant on my outer disc was worn to the steel ! Otherwise the clutch & slave looked looked brand new. Of course next step was a New shop. McCleod RXT, ALFW, new slave, proper install + flash without a hitch in almost 7K miles. But after spending $6000 they were very expensive lessons ! [/QUOTE]
