This weekend tackling a Driveshaft Shop carbon fiber shaft and Carbon Twin disk clutch! Hopefully I can now finally get the tune nailed down and hit the rollers again!

So the car was slipping on the current setup? What are you hoping to get?

It was 610/556 RW

should be/have been 640-50'ish. We found that the pushrod length that came with the package was too long causing the lifters to bottom out preventing the valves from closing above 6k (tell tale was the dyno sheet).

**EDIT**
Actually found that #7 cylinder intake rubber gasket on the FAST 102 was leaking (Sucking air). Apparently during the torque down sequence (on the second pass) I either re-torqued that screw twice which bottomed the intake out on the head or the rubber gasket was weak. My guess is I put a third pass on that screw. I'll order 8 new ones and move forward from there.

So between pushrods that were too long, leaking intake gasket and a stock clutch that was slipping (when I removed it this weekend, it was barely 70% worn @ 8yrs old) and installing the CF Shaft, car should be good for a long time.
