It's probably gone if that is the case, but, let it sit over night and take it out again after it fully cools down, and see if it still slips. I am not saying you shouldn't start shopping for a clutch, but, mine did the exact same thing, and I was able to still drive it for a while as long as I did not get on it too much. Just easier if you can drive it to the shop, I guess.

Lots of great clutches out there. I went with an RPS StreetMax and couldn't be happier. It's got stock-like pressure as far as the pedal, but grips really nicely. The car is especially easy to drive away from a stop, even starting out going up hill - nice and smooth.

No video, and I will scan in the printout when i get a chance.

For now:

Pre-tune HP: 265.6 @ 5500
pre-tune Torque: 257.1 @ 5250

After tune HP: 275.1 @ 5750
After tune Torque: 286.4 @ 3750

The thing just PULLS like crazy, it just doesn't quit tell I hit around 5500 RPM and then I am shifting anyways. Really it is just night and day difference from the cobb OTS.
