Ok long story guys and gals but I would appreciate any insight. I took my TL-S to the dragstrip for the first time last night for a local test and tune. Now this is the first time for the TL and I have been running at the track for the last couple of years with various cars. Well I feel I pulled a respectable time for my first run with the TL; However I noticed on the supsequent runs about 20-45 mins apart my clutch started slipping. Now I have an 07 with 21k miles its a 6spd of course with a Comptech S/S and AEM CAI. I launched at a modest 2700 rpm without VSA and ran a 14.24 at 97.9 and was running 2.3 60' times on stock tires at 30psi. On the second run I felt my clutch slip in 2nd as my RPM's growled and my car was not accelerating and the third run total clutch slippage through first and into second. As I let off my car it was filled with the unmistakeable odor of clutch burning. Now I let it cool down as my disappointment, the clutch definetly feels different if not fried. Now I know this is not a race car but I was expecting a little more. I was running on a 70 degree night just seeing what my car would do at a local street night. I commute with my car and drive it easy the majority of the time (no stop light launches or trying to grab the tires in gears). So after contacting my dealer (neglecting the racing part) they have agreed to replace the clutch now I would like to replace it with an aftermarket that is a little more substantial. Are you guys with 3rd gens with superchargers having problems? Or has anyone had any clutch issues at the track or just early or low mileage? I have searched the boards and have seen some possible prototypes but nothing concrete for aftermarket clutches. It seems to me the S probably uses a clutch that is maxed out hp and tq wise and an identical part to the 04-06 6mt. I have looked on comptechusa (i have read about the closing and re-opening as well) and see they have a disc for the CL-S 6mt is this anything better than stock? Does this fit? Any help on aftermarket solutions or expierences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much

Excuse my ignorance, but I didn't know a 04-06 (3.2) CTSC could fit an 07TL-S (3.5).
