First time out on drag radials

Whent to Sacramento Raceway on friday, ran 7 times first time on M/T drag radials 235-60-15. Was learning the car on drag radials, playing with tire pressure, my best runs was at 14psi tire pressure.
My clutch didnt like it much, still running original clutch at 107500 miles.

*Cattman Headers, 1st Gen
*Cattman high flow cat
*Cattman 3" exhaust
*Custom short ram intake, 3.25 mid pipe, stock MAF sensor
*SSIM intake manifold, made by (SR20DEN)
*Amsoil dry filter 7.5inch
*Intake manifold spacers

Temp was at about 73 degres. If I want to get more out of it will have to replace the clutch, it would not hold very good on those 2.0 sixty foot

Times a little on the slower side, based on mods this should be a 13.2 and lower car, I understand that your learning though so good runs, get that 60' down to probebly 1.9 or 1.8

You will get that easily with a clutch and more seat time.

We've had good experience w/ Competition and spec stage 2 clutches in my cousin's car (2002 Altima 3.5)... overall I believe he prefers the Spec clutch

I wouldn't touch a spec clutch. I've seen too many clutch explosions from specs. I don't know all the manufacturers of clutches for 3.5s, but I'd stick with ACT, Exedy, South Bend (DXD), RPS, Clutchnet. The JWT 350Z clutch is a wonderful clutch too and would fit your needs well.

Explosions oo wee... That is rough.... Thankfully we've had nothing but good results w/ it in the almost 2 years he's had the spec on his car
