Joes P-Trim 1400tq Twin Disk went it without issues, and I gotta say I love this clutch!! Let me say that again, it's a great clutch !!!! Very Streetable and grabs perfectly. Talked to SPEC at length stating a 500 mile break in is unfeasable on joes car. Jeremy at SPEC gave me a specific break in to avoid clutch chatter, and after some break in procedures and only 30 miles on the clock, I'm ready to go WOT on the dyno.
The clutch start engages at 55% up the pedal, and is fulley engaged at 80%, indacating that it's fulley disengaged beyond 1/2 petal at high rpm shifts, very important for quick shifts and proper shift without placing harm on your syncros of the tranny..
Who else loves Horse Power ???!!!

Any idea what the total assembly wieght was for the SPEC? (flywheel/clutch/pressure plate)
ZR1 wieghed 56 lbs and RPS was 34 lbs... 22 lbs lighter. Not sure what the OEM setup wieght is - would be curious to know if anyone has one out to wiegh. FYI, ZR1 setup looked to be in great shape..... just a little chatter marking that could easily be sanded off, no burns and haven't measured disks compared to new, but looked great. The green slave boot was nice and clean, along with the inside of the housing. I'm confident I had a disengagement problem - the ZR1 would begin to engage about 1 inch off the floor....... probably less on the WOT shifts. Hopefully I caught the problem early enough to save the tranny syncros. Also installed the MTI racing transmission mount.... OEM one is pretty soft.
Here's a link that will probably make the ZR1 and OEM clutches work properly by modifying the amount of fluid the clutch master cylinder flows. Hendrix specifically said why risk their clutch if it already proven to work with the OEM slave with upgraded TOB. More results should hopefully be posted soon. Dan Howard is installing one in his LPE/Pedders car (the road course car from Cfest) and he has the ZR1 - should prove to be interesting.
