Clutch Recommendation for Ecoboost

[Grafanton]

Howdy,
Coming home on the PA Turnpike from the last of 8 track days this year I experienced some clutch slipping.

It's not bad and I can probably ride it out until spring time, but if I have any hope of doing more track days next year I'm gonna need a clutch.

I have seen very few aftermarket options available for the EB. I really hoping the wealth of knowledge on this forum can help me come up with something viable.

Stay away from the Mccleod 600 series ceramic. Back before twin disk were out it was my only option on my 5558 and 2867 setups I ran. It is a pain in the ass to drive. You really have to rev up that disk to get it to take off normal.

I have been driving ceramic clutches for years so it didnt bother me but if you want something similar to stock. Check out the Xtreme Clutch out of Aussie. A few people have had great results including Marty from Turbosmart.

Hit up Jon Bowen at Juggernaut Power for one or the centerforce that should be coming out.

Were you at Pitt Race? I ran there when it was named Beaver Run and before they built the back part of the track.

How did you notice the slipping?

Somewhat amazingly, the forum was a little slow to respond to my post. So I went ahead and purchased a McLeod RST twin disc. I got an awesome black friday deal from Team Beefcake Racing. It might be a little more clutch than I need, but it has certainly come highly recommended.
I went to Summit Point for NASA's Fall Finale. I had a great time and the weather couldn't have been better. Surprisingly I had to install my snow tires the following weekend.

I was eastbound east of Breezewood pulling up a fairly steep stretch with the cruise set at 75 when I was forced to make a full throttle pass to avoid a rolling roadblock. The engine revs jump about 500 rpm briefly than settled back to normal. It did it a second time later in the trip as well. I'm sure I could recreate it again if I had to, I'm also pretty sure if I behave myself I can get several more months out of the clutch, and if I wasn't planning on going to the track in April I bet I could get a whole year or more. But alas, I have acquired a new addiction that requires frequent feeding to stave off withdrawal symptoms.
