It's still has organic disc, it will heat up and slip after time. Spend a little more and get the RXT with the lightened steel flywheel... you won't regret it!

I have an RST on my Whippled '05. Been to the track a few times with drag radials and no issues so far at 597 RWHP. I do know a couple of guys on the forums that did have slipping issues after too many hard launches.

ok thanks for your help. dont want something that might slip:cheers:

I highly doubt that it will slip. I am still on the stock clutch with my whipple SC. It hasn't slipped yet.

From what I've been hearing, once it slips one time...it's toast. Mine has been great though. I would have bought the RXT in the first place if I had known, but so far so good.

I thought and said the same thing. In fact I made a post on this board about how great my stocker was holding up. Within 24 hours it was toast. Literally.

I'm going with a ACT single disc. The stock clutch has held up fine for me. Multiple launches and burnouts without slipping. My first dyno, my car made 622rwhp and 515rwtq. That was before I upgraded the TB and tune.
