Still on stock clutch, 22k miles and counting..Boosted at 6k... Whipple 91 (701/542) now on E85 (800). Will be putting the Mantic Clutch once clutch goes boom. Waiting on @team_lethal to deliver the Mantic soon =)

I just swapped out my stock clutch to upgrade. Did not have any issues with the stock clutch and it had a little over 6000 boosted miles on it. It has seen 2 half mile racing events with ~15 passes in total for both events combined. A handful of street runs/pulls as well. I did shift a little slower though to make sure I didn't bang gears hard.

The car has also seen 3 drag events while it was bolt ons and multiple street runs/pulls too all on the stock clutch as well.

Here's what it looked like when I pulled it out:

Part of me just wants to run the stock one til it goes. Other part says just replace it

Are there any gains to replacing the stock clutch if there are no issues?

No lockout and no fear of the clutch slipping...that's gains!

4k/6.5k miles on mine boosted all but maybe 500 miles of that is 700whp with 500mi being 800whp (E85). One track trip on E85, 3 runs with no launch and 138mph traps, tons of 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear pulls. No slipping yet.

When mine does go, I am going with another single disc. For how I use my car, I just don't see the benefit and cost being worth switching to a twin.

The exact one that I have my eye on. Some people get caught up in the more is better... Well, it depends on the use. As the track I just like a single disc better for the money and simplicity.

38k miles on stock clutch, 18k boosted at 500wtq, drag racing, autocross, many many launches, still grabs good. only time i had slip was when i made about 4 1/4 passes back to back but hasnt acted up since.


edit:


no slicks though. street tire only

Exedy installed. Factory flywheel was perfect so re used that. No chatter no shudder. Def stiffer and heavier then stock clutch. Deciding if i like the feel. Feels like the pedal engages lower.
