To put it in perspective , before the Rev 6 I did some form of damage to my transmission every race. Since putting the REV6 in neither myself nor John have had any transmission failures. My 60 ft times are in the 1.30 - 1.40s and I never do a burnout, just stage and launch. It definitely was THE best investment I ever put in my car. Mike
Good to hear that. So far I like it but im still in the break in period. I can't wait to launch the car @ 6k rpm on the two-step. Leaving @ 12psi is going to be fun.

You need to spend some time breaking it in , otherwise you will be removing it and glass beading the discs to remove the glazing that will happen if you get the discs hot. I put our cars up on jack stands and fired the cars up , I slowly engaged the clutch and released it at idle with just a little pressure on my brakes . I did this probably 50 times and let it cool every ten times. We launch both cars about 5800 rpm's on a two step. I have 8.5 M/T slicks , air pressure varies on which track I am at , but between 13.0 and 14.5 psi . I am still on my original discs.Mike

I like mine. I'm just not understanding how they work though but it all good so far. Once I get a good break in I'm going back to finish the tuning @ 30psi and this time I'm using dry ice on the intercooler.

It feels like a stock clutch but my clutch is also hydraulic.

Yeap they better :D they cost enough. Ron told me they will hold if I make the power. I'm taking his word that they will.

The more information you gave Ron the closer he can get your setup. I had dyno numbers from Dave Kawell on my engine when I purchased my clutch so I did no guessing . Both of our setups worked exactly the same and we have no complaints . Unless you are able to build your own transmissions you could pay for the clutch with savings from not blowing your tranny once , a mainshaft cost us 900.00 , R/P 250.00 , a gusseted case which I replaced with every trans failure really added up quick.

I hope I don't have Trans problems. I'm not going to mention what I paid for my Mendeola trans :shock:

Yeah I think with your set up, if you are able to boost to 30 psi....your going to need a clutch that work very well!

Our setups are different but a word of advice , do not worry about a number boost wise , find the efficient peak on your turbo and set your fuel system around that . This video was of my old race car (red one) , notice no burn out and I shift second in the air . This is on 15psi boost ,366 rwhp .

WOW!!!!!! 366rwhp @ 15psi ......that should be a little over 410hp @ the engine.
What size engine and heads are you using at that time?
That was in 2012 technology has come a long way since then. :wink:
