Sounds like either the motor was too lean, or you were running the stock clutch spring with maybe a little too much tension. I would highly recommend the new XRAY Hard clutch spring with the spring nut set to 0.8mm (torque motor) or 1.2mm (rpm motor) down from the flywheel nut end. Flawless and long lasting.
btw guy, you left out a gap to start at with your preload setting lol

well thats not to bad, and if its a 1/8 track your probably good lol. try leaning out the top a hair, and richening up the bottom and tell me what happens.. lately I have seen a lot of people running the bottom to lean, and end up richening the HSN to compensate. More than anything I would ditch the clutch spring. I have been tuning with clutch more than anything else lately (balance and what not is where i like it and it seems to have a big tuning window). the orion spring is a bit much but hits like a 500lb gorilla and its fun.. lol.. try the mugen extra hard, xray hard, MSR hard, or JP hard springs they all seem to give it a lil more snap than the stock spring.

Hi guys, has anyone had issues with there clutch getting boggy in long finals?
I had my clutch set per the book with the exception of a yellow shoe and it would be fine in qualifiers but the car starts losing bottom end in finals.
I have switched to the kyosho 2d clutch to test in the nt1.

Are you referring to front end spool?
What diff oil are you running at the rear?

also, disconnect your front swaybar, or go to a harder rear swaybar setting.
bodies make a big difference also, the stratus all purpose seems to have a tendency to be secure, but understeers on exit quite a bit. try the new civic east body, or the mazda.

increase the front lift of the arms. so screw out the droop screws so that the arms read a negative ( - ) number on the droop blocks, this will transfer more weight to the rear on exit and allow the car to steer out of the exit with the rear diff. increase the rear diff oil thickness. if you are racing on a small tight track with low traction, maybe go with a standard diff with 60,000wt oil in the front diff, 80,000wt or standard 60,000wt rear.

If you want to avoid the pain of swapping out the diff oil, the other suggestions mentioned by TomB should effect the car's performance. Try them one by one and see if you can get something you like. On anti-roll bar I went with the X-Ray 2.2mm medium and found that helped. Another plus is that it is significantly cheaper than X-Ray's blade style anti-roll bar.
I too been having the same problem with on-power understeer. I've found though if you want dramatic effect on understeer, play with the roll centre. The NT1 has 4 rear lower arm positions. In the lowest position, you get max grip, in the highest your rear grip seems to drop to near zero. Raise the arms by 0.5mm and note the changes.
