break your belts in well before lighting the wick to it...and heat trapped in...and or various aftermarket clutching can have a negative effect on your belt life...just saying

I think viper Joe has a stage 3 evo flash
Have u done anything to the secondary spring?
With that much torque I would think u would want some more resistance in the secondary so it doesn't slip.
Worked for me with my stage 2 turbo viper

Hey Nos-Pro, again, have you had a chance to try Hurricanes primary ramps that supposedly add 20 HP @ the track ?

If I buy one of these aftermarket clutch kits and start eating belts, I won't be a happy camper!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

^^^^^^^^You too!!!
I think its time for a big switch. I had that much belt dust in under 50 miles! Without a helix Its going to keep happening.
I have to have a setup for my week trip to the cabin in the UP!
And it looks like its lighter weights and softer springs! I got to see if I can make it happen before I leave Sunday
