Default How long did your Competition Clutch Stage 5 last you?

I got about 50 passes on 25" slicks with 500whp and 360trq. Is this about average?

I have had one in my street car (All Motor K) for a while now, no problems. I am not on track all of the time, but I have no problems.

I think you are at the rated limit so thats about all you will get if so. Of course they are rated on torque.

CCstage 5, 4puk unsprung and CC lightweight street flywheel almost have 40k miles on mine over the last 3years, daily driven very hard at ~380whp and about 100 passes on 24.5 at ~550whp plus about 20 weekends of street racing a year and still holding strong like the first day i put it in
i did do the 300 mile brake witch iv heard helps a lot.

but iv seen some not even last 10k miles of hard driving so i guess its hit or mas

I had a CC Stage 5 in my EF. Car was like 21xx with me in it. Made like 500whp. 2 dyno sessions with around 15-16 pulls. And about 2x passes down track including burnouts and a few street pulls. Last event of last year it started slipping. I pulled it out and thier was pieces of the disk missing. I have a CC Twin now for this year. I called CC and they said im right at the limit of that clutch. I say anything more than like 450whp and if ur gonna BEAT it up. Just get a twin.

I had the sprung 4 puck. Two years, 25K miles, and 100+ passes at the track, and mine was still holding up like new when I sold the car. I wasn't making alot of power (304 whp / 274 wtq), but it took everything I threw at it, on the track and street. And I beat the living **** out of it.

Wow, now I'm worried. I got the stage 4 6puck sprung with uprated pp - looking for 500 - 550

They rate it at 250% increase in torque though, what gives??

Yeah at the flywheel. Stage 4 probably won't hold it and sprung is just more stuff to break. I have broken springs before on ACT stuff

I still have mine out of my turbo B series. Easily 20k miles of complete street abuse. Tons of street pulls and probably 30 trips down the track with slicks and drag radials. Never slipped or gave me any problems with power levels between 300-400whp.

Thinking about buying the same clutch for my K series now.

Even at flywheel - assuming torque of say 120lbft stock (conservatively) - 250% increase should hold 420lbft at the flywheel. What am I missing?

Anyway, we'll see what happens when I get there
