[QUOTE="1wild-horse, post: 16805966, member: 84197"] Got a new build put together last year, finished up dialing it in this spring. Quick details are full weight, 9.5:1 compression, .020 over, KB 2.0 @ 15 psi, custom cams, longtubes, E85, solid axle, 3.55 gears, T56 and a 26 spline.. running QTP Hoosiers trapped a best of 7.15@100mph in the 1/8. Went with a Vengeance clutch and was really impressed with feel and drivability out of the box as I broke it in with some short drives and a few trips to work. Car has never been on the dyno so power level I estimated to be around 600 with the passes its making.. went with the 750hp rated organic twin. So... after a few nights and some tnt at the track, I would have to guess but, maybe 20 passes, it started stinking. Could smell hot clutch after a pass. This last trip out, got the car out of the trailer and headed to town for fuel. A good blip of the throttle and the clutch isn't holding. Pulled it out, and sure enough, the disks are smoked. Took forever getting here, I know but here is the question: What are the guys running the shit out their cars every weekend using for a clutch? The RXT seems like the go to, I just don't want to jack around with the pivot ball bullshit if I don't have to. Any other options? [/QUOTE]
