RPS tested And it failed my torture test 
Can't handle 4500rpm street launches,just slips.The SPEC 3I held alot better. I think the downfall is the dual friction type disk.A call will be made next week to RPS to tell them my finding's and see if we can get a much more aggressive disk.If that doesn't happen I'll just install a SPEC 5 and call it a day.

my friends just got destroyed its first time at the track in his c5. 4th or 5th pass and he lost all pedal control. Clutch was totally engaged. I limped it home for him and it'd slip if i gave it too much gas...

I have had no problems at all with my RPS clutch. Took it to the track after 100 miles and made 8-10 hard launching passes 3500+ RPM's. When I installed it I did add a new slave/bearings and flushed the entire system. I run my CCW drag package with ET Streets on the track/street and the clutch has not failed me yet.

Got my new RPS stage 3 installed about 3 weeks ago. I've got about 20 passes on it. Last run last night, it goes. Was able to drive home. I'm hearing a whistling sound a piece of metal sliding around underneath. This morning, got the car out of the garage in reverse, but after that, it was pushing. Car in gear, clutch pedal release = going nowhere. Not too happy. Is this my driving or just the clutch? I was also told to go with a Spec 5 but how is it on the street? It doesn't slip too good does it? Just when I get use to something, I have to learn something all over again. I think I might have a hard time launching with the Spec 5? Looking for suggestions
