Impressions of Textralia clutch after first track trip... Well just got back from the track on Friday nite and the mods are in the sig. Now I know i am not pushing a huge HP rating, but I am definately not stock either. I made 10 passes in 3 hours, never hot lapped, and it held AMAZING dumping the clutch at 5k-5500. It grabbed like a SOB, never slipped once, and was just as smooth on the drive home as could be. I was skeptical as to how a clutch that is this streetable can be that hardcore at the track, but it was VERY solid. It is DEFINATELY worth the $$$ just wanted to share!

Orangepeel, what do you think a 9" car with ET streets/3.70 gears and 385rwhp on tap should 60'?????
Keep in mind car is fully suspended with Hal QA1, UMI Torque arm, and chromoly DS....

I hear ya about the tranny, I toasted mine finally after 120k HARD miles on it, 4th gear finally has let go. Looks like mine will see only 1/8 mile from here on out....
I'll let the thread starter tell you about his 60's

Not me dude, I dont run no stinking 3.70's. I'm with 4.22's at the moment, and goign to 4.56's with a 28" slick soon enough as well.
With 4.22's and 26" slick, i cross the traps in the 1/4 at 6800.....with a jacked up 4th gear.....it gets the job done, but man is it frustrating to granny shift 4th after a great 60 and 1/8mile......
Anyone got an extra Tranny laying around~!
