Im putting down 322whp on my Comptech 7lb SC setup that is about 2 weeks old...I have an OEM clutch with about 35k on it. The car felt terrific for the 1st week but I have noticed that the car feels sluggish now when it hits vtech in 2nd 3rd so on....feels like the engine is screaming but just not the acceleration that I have been getting. The initial engagement feels fine, no clutch smell or anything....what do you guys think? Is my clutch shot? Thanks, TOm

 

Just posting in here to follow this thread. I'd like to know as well.

The clutch is slipping if the engine rpms go up inappropriately. You may be getting used to the power. Getting used to the power is common and you will frequently see individuals getting smaller pulleys, larger injectors, etc. to overcome this feeling of less power.

Oh I didn't know that thanks

I have a question about the clutch though while we're on the subject...


I'm gunna be supercharging my car soon but have the OEM clutch. Is the car still going to be drivable when it's s/c'ed or do I HAVE to get a clutch for it? I don't have the money for the clutch yet, so is it just going to have to sit there once I install the s/c'er?

 

It's easier to install the clutch before the supercharger. If you drive easy your clutch may last for a while.

 

my stock clutch lasted for 6k miles after being S/C.but it may be cause of the delay valve.mine is an ap2
bolted S/C at 13k miles had to change clutch at 19k miles.

Theoretically lets say this:

I don't buy the clutch and it starts slipping, does that mean my shift are gunna have to be slow or I just can't even floor it w/o it slipping.
