my comp clutch stg 4 i just sold when i removed that disk looked like when i first got it, a tad bit worn down and i had just recently replaced the disk in feb 2013, and took the car apart in the end of AUG

well not all cars are the same nor transmissions. driving habits are also a toll on the clutch

Ya I agree, my exedy stage 1 still looked pretty damn good when it was removed.

Clutch masters FX350.

How does it seem to be holding up with 460+ hp? I have the same clutch, just not installed yet.

Seems to be fine. I liked the exedy stage 1 better though.

based on pedal feel?

based on pedal feel?

More the general driveability. The exedy was nicer for dd and didn't shutter at all when starting from a stop.

Went to the track last night, had a fucking blast!

First pass I did a 4th gear pull, to get a nice full edyno graph. Although after looking at the datalog, it may not be that accurate, as I did it right after I arrived so my IATs were kinda high from my car being driven there, then sitting a few minutes while I filled out paper work/had car inspected, but should be good to graph for smoothness just may be a little lower on power as I was only hitting ~14 psi in 4th due to the IATs.
The second pass was my baseline with a very standard start off on street tires, it was a 13.173 @ 117.17 with a very bad 2.355 60 ft. but I just wanted to see what it does in 'street form' with no real launch whatsoever. After that pass I put the slicks on and the real fun began!

I made 5 passes with the slicks. All launches netted a 1.7x 60 ft. I think more boost could be added for 3rd and 4th or maybe the IAT comp table can be adjusted, but I was super pleased with the car, and launching on slicks is an amazing feeling. I highly suggest anyone that is interested in dragging their car even if it is not that powerful to use slicks, they just feel great, the launch is awesome, no wheel hoping, it just goes!
Here are my times for the 5 slick passes in order:
12.326 @ 114.94 - 1.766 60 ft.
12.394 @ 114.82 - 1.798 60 ft.
12.259 @ 115.97 - 1.743 60 ft.
12.202 @ 116.48 - 1.744 60 ft.
12.267 @ 116.28 - 1.780 60 ft.

I think the car has more in it, I definitely think it can do 11s, I think I need to have the tune adjusted some more for the track so I can get more speed in the top end as my trap speeds are a tad lower than expected. Too bad I no know howz to tunez.

any videos of the passes??

does your FX 350 shudder pretty bad? all the reviews i've read say its really great for DD

Slicks are awesome to launch on. No other feeling like it. Your car is a complete different animal with em on.
