Talked to the guys at the track and they said it was actually better i was using the slider whenever the track was hooked up. They said if the clutch was grabbing it would bog down. Plus part of the reason i had no bottom was because i was using a 14 on a track that needed a 13. Will upgrade to the buku later on but i'm fine for now.

Most people use the Werks Pro clutch. Different design.

I would run the lightest spring or the medium spring and a metal shoe set. If you want an adjustable one you can shell out for the m2c, buku or werks. The stock one should work fine though.

The clutch shoes just never wear out, I replaced the unit just now this year and that says a lot for how long it will last.
It's a fantastic clutch.
My friend went and bought one of these "Kompak" clutches or whatever they're called, it lasted one day before the shoes melted.
People can use whatever they want, but I am sticking with the speed 2.5, and I'm absolutely not tempted to try this buku clutch that people talk about - set screws you adjust in and out, sounds like a hassle to get it right.

How can u knock something before you've even tried it. Hassle I think not.

Use what you like best, we didnt like it at all. All of us that tried it thought a normal 3 shoes aluminum felt more consistant than that slider, and we tried all the spring configs we could think of. but a lot of it is personal preference.
