Ok so I just got dynotuned and my excedy stage 2 is slipping at 298hp 310tq won't get past that ### the damn clutch slips I didn't resurface my flywheel maybe that's it? But what is weird is there's no clutch smell the car still pulls hard just not what it should. It's pulling like it has 375hp but the clutch can't hold it wich is weird due to it having 13k on it and there's no bunt clutch smell.. help LOL
 
Maybe the torque it can handle is 300lb. You have 310lb That would cuase it to slip. I have ACT 2600 good for 400lb torque. Pretty sure its slipping because your car has too much torque. Unless that clutch is supposed to handle more? You always wanna resurface the flywheel also. Im thinking too much torque for that clutch.
 
It's not just about the flywheel surface. Step height plays a big role as well.

Your not smelling the clutch burn because it doesn't use organic friction material. But slipping it will quickly overheating the flywheel.
