I don't call people out powell! Thanks for the info. I am really interested in the coating that you are talking about. I have tried Amsoil DT4, and other stuff, but nothing seems to work.
I went with the ACT twin disk in my C6 since I want to go 9's with under 700rwhp, but I've only made 2 passes slightly above 600rwhp, and can't get under a 1.62 60ft.
Do you mind if I shoot you a PM to get some more details on the clutch details that you are talking about?
Trust me I was very doubtful at first because I was like how can some kind of coating or whatever they used make a difference. Joe @ LMR and the guys at McLeod were not lying.
Now I don't know the C6 that well, but do you have your front swaybar pulled for the track? I know Matt went from a 1.6X to a 1.5X on motor by just pulling that.
I dont think Tony has a ZR1. No to say he couldnt buy one but I think he has a pimped out maggie Z06

Yeah shoot me over a reminder and I will call Matt (NVR4GET aka Lil Powell) in the morning and have him post it or I can relay it to you.

As stated, my stock clutch was toast. I guess that makes me a shitty driver, because I couldn't force the clutch to work. The track was hooking, at my low 600 rwhp power level. Those 345 M/T tires didn't need much of a burnout to stick. They gripped good enough to make the clutch go up in smoke.
My car is an '09 Z06, Maggie and headers. No other mods. Except for a clutch this week....

I'm not worried about the clutch, I had a killer weekend with all of the festivities. I knew it was bound to slip, having experienced it several previous cars at/near this power level. Its held on pretty well for about 5K miles, just not on drag radials. I still want it fixed by TX Mile next weekend, probably start ripping the car apart tomorrow.

Hell if you are a shitty driver, then I must be a triple shitty driver with a 6 sp..lol. I have only made 7 passes down the track with my power, it just takes alot of seat time to get it right which I can't seem to get without renting the track

I'm interested in this coating as well. I have the same clutch as Mark and while I have not had any problems with it yet, I have yet to track it with the MT ET's. I'm not clear at all on what it is though. A coating on the disk(s)?
