6spdKEG,
what kind of clutch do you use? That is surprising that yours only last 1 year. How many miles do you put in a year?

 

I think we are not on the same page, I meant to say "I hope my clutch lasts me through this whole year.. ."
I've had my swap done since summer of 05' - so getting close to 2 years now
Started off with a Stg I Clutchmasters
prolly only around 12,000 miles of daily and harsh conditions. I think I have around 20 dragstrip launches on it and prolly about the same for street launches.

The stg I is okay for what I do, HPDEs, Autocross, but I think it slips at times already and I for sure can't do a 2nd gear launch on it.. . I tried one at 5500rpm on the street with hankook Z211 r comps and the clutch did not like that at all. I know the rpm should have been higher, but still.. . I'm not willing to try another 2nd gear launch even on street tires.

 

gotcha.

Yeah, you might need stage 2 or more for what you do. Although, if you don't do any standing start launches, the stage 1 might be ok.
