Default FI M6 guys come inside!

I'm posting this here, because I'm ONLY interested in the FI M6 cars making big numbers and I think I'll get more specific responses here than in the tranny section. Mods, move this if you must.

I'd like to set up the responses like a list:

Clutch Brand and Type
Hp/Tq
ET/MPH
Type of FI
Vehicle Weight
Miles on Clutch
Number of Passes
Miles Driven Weekly


Please list all of the above that you know, and a breif opion or comment.

gt55 turbo (91mm) on a 408 6.0 liter

old clutch blew up, breaking new one in now
1 pass
if I dont have any issues with the car I can drive it to and from work or where ever I go as a daily driver.

I choose however not to drive it everywhere as I dont wanna put too many miles on the car.

Ram HD/Ram billet flywheel, Ram shim
645/541-dynojet rw
10.600/133.03
stock motor D1SC
3440
8000 miles
30 passes
125 miles a week

For the price best clutch so far-if you install it 100% correct, use the Ram Flywheel, shim etc. IMHO most clutch failure is due to installer error.

11.2/124 mph
ATI P-1SC
3750 lbs. estimate

250 miles or so. I used to not drive it a lot but my DD broke so I have been using it as my DD for about 3 weeks which is putting about 250 per week on it. Once I get myself another DD truck I will go back to keeping it in the garage except for track nights and weekend drives!

What kind of clutch setup was on this car? Also I wasn't aware Spec made dual disc clutches, how much did that set you back?


Thanks everyone....keep 'em coming!
