600whpA4

Well took the car to the track to test out the set of 225/45/17 drag radials that Hoosier made for me. Tires were able to hold a hard launch while running the Q16 tune which I added another 3 degs of timing and boost at 37psi. I figure I was making 650+whp, problem is that the 4+ year old clutch could not hold the power while actually getting plenty of traction.

60 ft = 1.54
330 ft = 4.58 with the clutch slipping pretty badly
1/8 = 7.1 at 92 (usually 110 mph)
1/4 = 11.5 at 97 coasting

Here is what the clutch looks like after pulling it out this morning.





Suprised the car still run 7.1 at 92 in the 1/8th with the way the clutch looks.

Picking up a Clutch Masters FX850 twin plate so we can test it in my car.

Actually I was able to shift gears while the pedal was stuck at the floor, but once I pulled the pedal back up as I pulled off the track I was not able to shift gearts at all while the motor was running. I was able to drive it though, clutch just wouldn't disengage.


Just picked up a brand new Clutch Masters FX850 twin plate for the 1.8t which I am testing for them since I was the one that asked them to make it.

I paid for the new clutch but basically at cost. I got my old clutch kits for free since it was a friend of mine that was having them made and my car was used for testing.
