Occasional 5500 RPM launches in 99ex ok on stock clutch?
I have a 99 Ex with cai and exhaust, stock clutch on 15's gsr's with kumho's.
I know its not good at all, but...
I only plan on doing launches like this (5500-6000 rpm) at the strip, which I will visit rarely (like 2 or 3 times a year). The first time I went to the track, I got bad times, because i was launching at like 4000-4500. The main reason was because I dont have the money to be replacing clutches and ****. I was worried I would break something. As of know, I my car has 30,000 miles on it and my clutch is in perfect working condition.
But I am going back to the track soon and was wonderin if its ok for a few times to do this. I DO know its not gonna last forever with constant launches like this, but will it hold up and be ok for the occasional drag strip visits. On the street, I drive it sensibly and normal.
Let me know what u think. I need to get them 2.2-2.3 60ft times!

I think you should im VTC_Civic about this. I believe he launches at rpm's around there, or at least he did before boost.

For track duties, I'd launch around 5k and slip the clutch out before boost. The clutch was getting pretty tired at 85k miles when I went to ACT, but it held up.

7400 rpm launches with 75 shot of juice on slicks with STOCK 90,000 mile clutch,
got a best of 1.85 60 foot with it.
BTW it only slipped on 3-4 powershift while spraying.
