Just turn it up all the way and blow up the dual mass. You'll wonder while they ever made a clutch like that. lol.. Sorry....

I've seen them blow stock and seen then last for a long time at 100 hp extra. It all depends on how you drive.

Before I got my DD I had my smarty turned up to to 120hp with 37" tires.
I could make it slip easily if I wanted to. I drove it like this for around 8 months before I put the DD in

Between the bigger tires and extra power your stock clutch won't handle it for long.

I've been running mine on level 3 for about 2 years now with no problems, but I know that it won't take much more so I'm taking it easy on it until I can fund a good clutch.

Been running mine on #6 with 37" tires. I do slip it going up an interstate on ramp. However, I drive like a 90 year old grandma till I instal a SB DD. It all depends on how you drive. Take it easy on take off and according to Peter use your 1st gear to lessen the slipage.

I have done a probably like 10 3rd gear clutch dumps in 3rd gear/35" Toyos and drifted around like a retarded tuner for a few seconds. I am totally done doing that being I just got 4 new 35" Toyos. Tranny is fine. I have read that sled pullers break Al the housings.

My clutch was toast about 15 minutes into my first drive on #3. But the truck had 60k on it and was previously owned by a guy who towed horse trailers, so who knows it was even an OEM clutch in there.

Much happier with my Con-OFE.
