In my opinion the problem at full throtle is that the boost is not constant..............
On my car I check the boost gauge and in full throtle we lose boost........
A boost controller would improve the full throtle respond..........

I've smoked the clutch a couple times (wasn't paying attention one morning and feathered it out at 7500rpm!). I don't plan on going higher than 6.5lbs of boost. So I don't see the engine being blown. The transmission parts other than the clutch will be just fine, especially since I don't drop the hammer but once in a blue moon. You have to realize that there are other forum members that currnetly have turbo or 75 shots of nitrous in their 8's with no trouble. Again, time will tell. We'll see what happens.. There wasn't a catagory, but I don't expect that I'll blow an engine, but I do see my having to replace the stock clutch with a heavier duty clutch withing the next 4-6 months.

That's kinda what I figured. Seeing the level that other places (SSR, Pettite...) are going to take their kits to, it probably won't be a problem.

With Philo's history in mind I must say that my personal limits of 7 psi and a 100 shot are only limits based on speculative engine tolerances. Of course, if the Renesis proves to handle all of that with ease I will "turn up the wick" as it were. Please don't throw it in my face if I end up with 12 psi and a 150 shot. 
Thank you.

I was being humorous and facetious at the same time. You guys know how there are some who just bash and flame people around here.....although you particular gentlemen do not, I had to make fun of those who do.
We're all friends, right.......?
