My truck is a 305/555 with 5" exh. K&N and Power pup. On extreme it will spin the clutch all day. When I was running 37's it was really bad. Now with 35's I can make it slip in extreme or just set the Power pup down to Performance and I think that is all she can handle. Of course with stock tires the clutch may hold in extreme. Never put stock tires back on to test it.

I have the 305/555 engine with 4'' ex.straight piped,A.F.E air box,BDPP "135hp". stacked with Edge EZ "70hp". My stock clutch held up for a few days, then I was forced to upgrade to a SBC.

well i built my own mod so i have no idea what she is crankin' but even turned down pretty low i can slip it and it gets much worse after it slips once at high speeds....so i have to push it in a cooler' down....if i had to guess maybe sixty true hp and 100 # maybe before it slips? i think i am running about 200+ factory 325 and it slips like crazy if i stay in it long like two or three seconds....some guys say different but thats what mine does?

I dont know abought the G56 but my NV handles my Bully Dog Tourque Dog just fine. The box is rated at 100 HP and 200 FT/LB but I dought I am getting all of that. I had 295 on it before my curent 285s and the tires have always broke loose and spun long before the cluch.

14000 miles total, 13000 with the quad, havent slipped it yet, and that is spinning 2nd, barkin a good 3rd and barkin 4th a little on the highest hp settin. That was with stock tires. The other day I dumped it at about 2000rpms in second and kept the 305s rollin into 3rd and then had to let off cause cars were comin.

Same here. On level 4 it is very minor, but on level 5 I can slip it pretty good with the 315s.

I have stock 265's on mine and can't get the stock clutch to slip on level 5 with juice and level 3 with EZ stack empty or towing. I have driven my clutch very nice though. I always do no throttle launches like it was designed for so no feathering the clutch. I've never tried to side step the clutch to do a burnout and don't drag race. Maybe that's the difference I don't know. That being said, I'm at 5000 feet and only drive at higher altitudes from there. I'm not sure what the correction factor for the turbo and PSI efficiencies are for every 1000 feet but my truck isn't performing like it would at sea level.

My clutch slips alot but then again I am drag race launching in four wheel 2200rpm in 3rd gear with stock tires on level 5 and then shifting to fourth and then go to 2wheel drive. I think that terrible stink means that the wife is gonna be real mad when I tell her that smell aint a dead cat and its gonna cost us about $1200

how much was the sbc up grade for the G56 dual mass mess! i just thought my clutch is slipping...but the more it slips the worse it gets even if i push in the clutch at 90mph and coast to 20mph this used to cool the old style off but seems to have no effect? i am thinking its the flywheel spinning inside its self...cant a dual mass do that? just thinking out loud....i just got this thing and will not keep it if there is no good reliable fix....love the motor... tranny shifts good ...clutch is a joke!
