Default Spec III i question/problem

Im pushing near 700rwhp out of a turbo car and had some et's on the car and ran into some issues. This is going through a moser 9" and I lowered the tire pressure. I hit the line lock did a burn out and let go when I tried to straighten out the car would make the grinding sound this was only from a dead stop. It will drive fine go in and out of gears fine like there is no issue. The noise is very light but you can hear it only from a dead stop though otherwise it seems normal anyone ever experience anything like this? As it cooled off the noise somewhat dissapated. Could the clutch just have gotten too hot? help me out thx

700HP is quite a bit for a Spec3. I believe they are rated for up to 680HP max. It may be that you are running the clutch too hot. I would consider going to a Spec stage 4 kevlar clutch. It's not recommended for a daily driver car though.
