AA flywheel/clutch break in period???

[mcvolcom]

i just installed my new AA flywheel/clutch combo and i wanted to know how long is the break in period before i can go full force? i think i heard 300 miles and i just wanted to know if that was right and if there is any thing else i can do to break it in properly!

thanks

300-500 miles on a new clutch, city drive it, shift frequently, but don't slip it much or shift aggressively at all.

Basically, drive like a "civilian" during the break in, pretend you have a '93 Camry and you're on your way to go play bingo.

Actually, speed is ok, just be gentle on the shifts.

I had mine recently installed and spoke tot he guys at AA and told me 80 miles of gentle driving then you can go from there but nothing to crazy

thanks guys...unfortunately, that was what i was expecting to hear, well it looks like i have to strap on the depends, and pound the metamucil, and hit the road for the next couple of weeks, if this damn rain ever stops!!


thanks again

Hey Carlsbadcroak... what pulley and crank diameters are you running, i am going to up my boost in the next couple of weeks and i wanted to run 10lbs,i would rather just change the blower pulley, but i heard the belt will slip? but i will do what i have to. also what mod would you recommend before running that much boost, aftercooler?,aquamist?,oilcooler?all?
thanks,
Evan

3.33 SC pulley, 6" crank pulley (on a V2), RMS aftercooler, 36# injectors, 3.5" HFM, water injection (disabled at the moment), oil cooler, and 318 mechanical fan along with RMS software, car runs fine and strong and is daily driven. At the very least you want some form of charge cooling, Aquamist works but not nearly as well as an aftercooler, but it's a good bit less expensive.

There's a little belt slip that happens on the 6 rib setup around 6k RPM, an 8 rib setup will solve that, but it's not too severe.
