Default Finally up and running again!!!

Well i've been gone for awhile now, had some serious family problems and I thought I was gonna have to sell the car but now it's looking like i'm gonna be able to keep it.. Everythings back together now, with the fresh engine. Still running the lunati pistons, but I complimented them with a set of steel H-beams with 7/16 cap screws, main studs and new dimond moly rings.
I was having problems with the spec clutches so i picked up a mcloed twin disc which I still can't get to work right... I'm still trying to get the shimming right on the clutch so if anyone can point me in the right direction on how to setup this clutch I will forever be in your debt.
Finally got the chance to strap her down on the dyno but ran into a slipping clutch again Every pull the clutch would let go at 3800rpm then grab again at 5200rpm, WTF??? Numbers are gonna be amazing once i get all the kinks worked out. The car put down 520rwhp at 3900rpm And was climbing real hard when the clutch gave out.
I'll try to keep everyone update better now and look forward to any suggestions you might have on my clutch...
