My experience was once it started slipping it went fast. I was able to drive it ok just could not hammer it. Had to drive reeaal easy.

if you still have a stock clutch with your mod's you are doing good , but you are in line for a sbc upgrade ....... go for it. do it at you conveniance, not after you have to get towed[director]

If you want to make the clutch last....good rule of thumb is to never hammer down from a dead stop. The stock clutch pressure plate doesn't reach full clamping force until around 1500rpm [give or take]. Try easing into the throttle gradually.
