It didn't. It slipped even in 4th and 3rd gear.

Or maybe just start building the next iteration and let this setup run its course.

oh ****. That's crazy. Well I guess it's safe to say that it's putting down much more power than what that clutch is rated for. At what boost levels did it let go?

You are making a ton of torque. I think the best ACT one goes to 405, what other options are there? The BMW setup might be the way to go, whats the beefyiest clutch for that setup?

Geez this thing is wild. Hit me up if you want to chat about clutch setups. We already have one guy making 600whp, 479wtq and his E46 clutch kit is holding just fine.

I'm just having to figure a way to solid mount my diff. Otherwise I guess I'll have to give up my OSGiken for a getrag.

I did all of my pulls on 5th since 4th is usually the gear that breaks in the 6 speed.

We're working on an off-the-shelf solid diff mount. For now, there are a few ways to do if you're willing to get a bit creative. However, the Getrag swap does give you a bunch of dirt cheap desirable ratio options for high HP cars.

pretty hard to break a gear on a single clean pull, even at 400 and even in 4th

Yup, we're deep into the development of it right now and it will be a pretty slick setup.
