So Jake H. are putting the same clutch back in? Was the driveline noise you mentioned like a dog box constant type or just when getting started? Did you put in a clutch stop? Just gathering info seeing as my clutch is trying to die on me and we all got money to burn....right.

YES! I put the same clutch back in with a Devo/Quartermaster flywheel and a new set of discs. Please keep in mind with the problems I was explaining in the Ooops page on my web site, that there were a few problems that were more time sensitive then not.
First: When I originaly set this clutch up (nearly 2 yrs ago), there was not a flywheel available for this clutch. I had never heard of anyone running this clutch at that time. I took a fidanza flywheel and had it machined to accept the QM clutch. The aluminum flywheel was light, but is not ready to handle twin disc heat.
Second: The disc seating surface of the flywheel was not entirely covering the full face of the inner disc. This caused the pads to tolerate the heat differently and caused some of the sintered bronze pad to come off. You will not have this problem with the Quarter Master flywheel from Devo.
Third: With as nasty as those discs and flywheel look, this setup still managed to hand 600 wheel torque, and pull my car into the mid 9s. The run before the latest 9.53@150 that I just did, I over heated the clutch off the line and caused it to slip the ENTIRE track. I should have gotten off of it, but I dont like letting mustangs win. So on and off the gas, I feathered my way down the track, slipping everytime I was in boost.
With all of that being said, This clutch still performed the next run.
