[s-cars] New clutch, and rear diff limits

[djdawson2@aol.com]

No crazy fluids... nothing funny.
 
When you say he's been beating the snot out of it, what does that mean?  Does he dump the clutch hell bent for leather?  When doing what he does, does the car remain hooked up, or do the wheels spin?
 
I just wonder if the car's too heavy for this sort of drivetrain abuse.  I never get wheelspin, except for a brief spin of the rt front.
 
Car is parked... I should be there Sat.

I wonder if it has anything to do with the torsen center diff shuffling around the power.  Nate's been running an 016 locker and V8 diff in his V8tt 90q with only good results.  I know he beats the snot out of it too.  Of course his car is lighter, but maybe with the center diff locked it is applying the power smoother? 
 
I'd like to do this mod some day so I'd like to hear other peoples opinions as well.
 
You weren't running some kind of crazy fluid like shockproof were you?
 
For the launches, what you're doing sounds fine to me.  Now go put the car in the garage till Sat morning! ;)
