fadinza flywheel, Nismo Disk and CF Pressure Plate all dead nowI know it was slipping a bit before the last race and co-drove it this past weekend and now I's all gone, the pressure plate is carcked the friction material is all shreaded off and looks like the flywheel was in a bonfire, Competition Clutches and a bigger flywheel are on deck to install next, I head they handle 500 whp which is a bit further than I plan on going

im guessing this motor isn't stock ? i dont see how a flywheel could go wrong on you... get a more appropriate clutch for your power that you're putting down

Lots of hardcore clutches out there that can handle race duties.

I'm guessing 300 to 300o whp right now (dyno in a coupla weeks) I ran the 12.6 with this clutch slipping the whole way, it's pretty much a race only car and it has taken about a year worth of abuse, but when it failed it went out pretty quick and a bit more dramatic than the past 2 clutches

once I upgrade th4e cluthc and upgrade to a copper headgasket I can turn the boost up and get more like 400whp, but I was getting head seepage at 14 psi and decided not to press my luck and the clutch wasn't holding at 14 psi
