Yeah (to shameless plugs), on my new sys, last week, I stepped on it in 2nd gear. at around 6K and 9 PSI, it just broke traction outright, but the clutch never slipped. Nor has it ever done so on my car with the old turbo .

Actually, I just remembered that I put a new clutch in when I did the first motor swap, so its:
2 motors, 45,000 miles, more than 300 HP. One clutch.
Bitches.

You have to get the "under the breath" thing conveyed somehow.

Yeah, he was some sort of "pro" engine builder.
Claimed that the rotors went around at half the e-shaft speed or something like that.
His only retort (right before he quit the forum and jumped off a cliff) was that I was spinning the motor backwards.
I guess If I had spun it in the other direction, the ratio would have changed.
