I'm looking for input and experience from other members on this one. I'm laying down 385 hp/tq on dynojet and the clutch still feels great. I don't launch at all and have 30K on the odometer. The magic question is do you think that this clutch will hold an E85 tune?
From what I gathered, I think it will, but I need more opinions on this one because I don't want to be "that guy" on the side of the road.
Here's the kicker. I have laying on my floor an ACT six puck cerametallic kit w/ flywheel. I have the money to do the tune or the clutch- which would you do?

I'm pretty sure the clutch can hold the tune also. I was just wondering if you get "x amount" of horsepower the the clutch will start slipping under normal, highway, or roadrace conditions.

I would tune now and expect the clutch to last for some time. A clutch could go at anytime though, so, you should always be ready to put it in if you need to.

I never launched my car and it made it to 50k before having to replace the clutch. As far as I know it was the 1st time it was ever replaced. The previous owner had put the majority of the miles on the car when I bought it and I don't remember him saying he ever replaced it. Just keep in mind even if you don't launch it you may have to replace it regardless. Also mine went out with just a TBE, intake, and tune at 21psi.
