So the SRT-10 is a pretty stout truck from the factory and as I understand it, most come with a 6 spd manual. I assume this is a T56 like the viper, right? So what clutch are ya'll running? I know you guys are putting out some good power with a heavy vehicle and I'm wondering what you do to make the clutch live. How do you launch? Are you able to feather it at all? :D

RC have had problems with thier clutchs. I have a QC so I can't answer the launch questions for you. Go to www.srt10forums.com and do a search for clutches or look in the problem section. All RC come with a 6 speed and all QC are automatics.

I have a RC and have had NO issues with my clutch. At our track (Gateway) I launched hard at 2500 rpms and just dumped it. I didn't try to feather it and didn't need to. The stock Pirelli's bit so hard the motor almost stalled. Still produced a 2.0 sixty footer.

Need to launch up around 3000 rpms and dump it. I think the guys who had clutch issues ran multiple passes "feathering" it.

Hope this answers your questions.

I didn't mean to say the clutch is bad. Just those guys that do some heavy racing have had problems. With proper launches I would guess there are not many problems. The main problem is that QC's are faster then RC's. :jest:

LOL. We'll see about that this spring. :judge:

I only got to do 2 launches on the last day of track season. I am installing high flow cats and a CAI next month. With a little more time launching this baby I should be solidly into the 12's as well. :drive:

btw, love your videos. :hail: Makes me want to head out to the track right now. :engarde:
