hold your breath

I just got a new motor with act clutch and fidanza flywheel and my turbo kit.
Is it best to turbocharge or run all motor until I break the clutch in?
My friend said I should run all motor, and I saild as long I stay in vaccum at low rpms I should be good.

What is your opinion?

just dont dump the clutch for a couple days and u should be good.

is it an organic disc?

hold your breath

I thought so.

If it's an organic or kevlar disc, you usually need about 500-1000 miles of stop and go driving to break them in properly. If it's a puck style disc, they don't require any break-in.

so a 6 puck unsprung clutch doesnt need to be brokin in at all? i just put one in 2 days ago and was told it needs atleast 500 miles of street driving before getting on it

Some manufacturers may vary, but most puck style discs do not require break-in. If you're doing something like say, replacing a disc without replacing or resurfacing the flywheel or pressure plate, then it's probably a good idea to take it easy for a while before beating on it. However, ideally, you should always make sure all the clutch friction surfaces(pressure plate, disc(s), flywheel) are good and flat when installing a clutch.

its an act 6 puck unsprung, brand new and brand new pressure plate. plus i had the stock flywheel resurfaced. so everything was flat and fit flush. so since its all smooth and resurfaced do you still think a break in period is necessary?

Do you think track cars put 500 miles on a their puck style clutches before they start making runs down the strip?
