I wish I could get people off the 2100, 2600, 2900 lb thing but old habits die hard I guess. The clamp loads vary a bit so we just advertise them as Heavy Duty, Xtreme, and Maxx Xtreme respectively. We never advertised them with the clamp loads but for some reason DSM people got hooked on the load ratings long ago. For the EVO we only have one pressure plate and it's a Heavy Duty which tests about 3000-3100 new and settle in about 100lbs lighter after it's broken in. For reference the stock pressure plate is about 2200-2250lbs (new).

I just recieved my kit today. the MB7-HDSS, but one question....my disk package was opened, but in the unopened ACT box. The disk is an exedy disk model engraved says (MBD088U), the kit says the disk should be a MBSD088S....whats up with that??

maybe they stuck a stock disc with the act pressure plate.
But, yeah, don't dump it high RPM.
If you're going to (must) do this, do it at redline, then dump it hard with full throttle.
Least that way, you have less chance of hopping and more chance of spinning your wheels.
However, people who's done that 4 months ago, don't have a T-case and transmission anymore.

and the other is how the package was slitted open inside the kit box. its new and unused though...haha

hey Dan, yeah I had actually thought of this recently. I still have it in, and also have a SS clutch line that i did a long time ago. Cant say that really helped much, but yeah what are the pros and cons of it? Ive just left it in just in case...guess thats why im at 37K on the stock clutch and no slipping.

Cons are will void powertrain warranty if something breaks and provides major shock to drivetrain if you like "dumping clutch" as it allows quick engagement of clutch.
Dirk can chime in about this with his clutch,as he can provide alot more info on it.

Doesnt matter, im past the whole car warranty right now anyway...That was gone at 36k if i even had one then. Doubtful!...and instruction on here on how to remove it? I think i remember Evomoto with one, but they are gone.
