Monster level 3 - takes the abuse

I fragged my trans - and decided to put a Quicktime bell on while I was at it.

Pulled the clutch tonight - decided to check it with my mic....it was .305 thick. Figured I'd email Steve @ SNL to see if it was time to replace it, and come to find out that is the stock thickness.

This clutch has around 2500 miles on it and well over 100 1/4 mile passes, it's been beaten relentlessly on the street as well.

Guess it's going right back in!

Thanks for the post Jeremy, I was indeed pleased when you gave me this information!

It shows just how tough these things really are.

These clutches take more abuse than Annabel Chong.

I'd need a dyno graph, gear info, transmission (MN6, MN12, etc.) information, and tire size. With this we can help you.

Give us a call and we'll go over a few things.

I have a handful of passes and about 3000 miles on my lvl 3 so far and it loves to take a beating. Plus it is relatively easy to drive.

I have somewhere between five and six thousand miles and multiple track passes on this clutch (stage three and 18lbs flywheel). I recommend this clutch to anyone that wants a clutch that you can beat the crap out of or just go cruise around town and have a super smooth clutch.

How easy did the Quicktime go in? Any mods or grinding necessary or strictly bolt-in?

Installed a quicktime a few weeks ago. Bolts right up. I have a Mcloud and I had to grind/cut it to fit.
