Robert,
Hows the Textralia running? I am looking to buy something different than what I have ($1,500. Street Twin w/aluminum flywheel). I'm just tired of being the R&D department for McLeod. Anyone running strong 10's with it yet to your knowledge?
Thanks,
Jeff

Took it to the track finally. On my et street radials I managed to snap an axle. Who knows what else went with it. I haven't popped the cover and looked at the carrier and gears. Here is a photograph of the launch that did me in.

5k with a quick slip of the clutch. The car hooked hard, The clutch grabbed like a fat man at a buffet, and the launch felt real strong...for about 10-15 feet. Then I heard a LOUD pop and that was all she wrote.
9inch time now.

But I have no doubt this is a good 10.xx clutch.

So, you're saying that you're letting the little tire spin just to keep the rear from breaking and not the clutch itself? What do you think would happen with a dead-hook?
Another question, what makes this clutch so "STRONG" compared to other companies?
I'm very close to gettin this ordered!
Thanks,
Adrian

I have the textralia going in in about a week, then it's going to be a quick break in period for me 
After that the 9'' is going in and lots of 5k clutch dumps! I'll be back to post up my results asap!

I just started the break in period today. Definitely some chatter, but it's manageable. I've got about 60 miles into it and driving it as much as possible around town to hurry up and get those miles tacked on so I can really drive it! so far, so good...

What i did to break it in faster was make sure I down shifted through the gears all the time. The chatter will go away. after about a month, I realized a lot of my chatter was that Iwas leaving at to high of an rpm. Now it's about taking off at idle and smooth as a baby's behind.

I Just Put This Clutch In My Silverado With A 1998 T56. The Truck Weigh's About 4300 Lbs. I Am Pushing 480hp And 550tq To The Wheels. I Had Chatter The First 500 Miles, It Has A Nice Smooth Engagement Now. The Clutch Feels Excellent. I Have About 3000 Miles On It. About To Take It To The Track In About Two Weeks,to See What She Will Do. I Love The Clutch!
