Thumbs down Slipped my clutch!

As it turns out, the little 12cm builds boost faster than the clutch will engage...I got caught in the 'you go, no you go, no, really, you go...'' routine while trying to get in line for the ATM tonight. Once the guy finally went , I dropped the clutch (already rolling, slowly) and mashed the pedal pretty good rpm's and boost went up, but the speedo didn't Only smoked it for about half a second...how much life did I take off my clutch?

My brother slipped my stock clutch pretty good a couple times and it still held fine once it cooled down. It wasn't slipping with over 250 HP to it.

I see you're planning on skipping the Con-O. Got big plans for the truck?
