You probably need a stronger clutch. The JWT is supposed to be very good up to 400 hp.

This guy has a FX700 for sale for $1,000 (I keep posting this because it is a great deal! I wish this was available before I bought my FX600).

https://my350z.com/forum/drivetrain/...lex-plate.html

As I have said it that and other threads, I am very happy with my FX600, and I think the only difference between the FX600 and the FX700 is the clutch plates that are used. Maybe you can call Clutchmasters and ask if they can exchange the FX700 plates for the FX600 plates, which are supposed to be more streetable. If they are willing to do that, you have one h*ll of a clutch for $1,000.

Carbonetics triple disc and the Exedy twin disc clutches are also supposed to be very good, but they costs big bucks.

What kind of clutch?

Do you have a stainless steel clutch line and high temp fluid, or the stock rubber line and crap fluid?

Do you see where we are going here?

All you have to do is change your clutch fluid. Get Motul. 100% fix. Our clutch line is close to the headers so it heats up fast but with High Temp clutch fluid, it will fix it.

FYI, I ended up frying my FX600 launching at 3k-4k rpm with 12 psi of boost. I now have a Carbonetics tripple disk.
