Bat, I'm done with it as well, as soon as I clear up one comment of yours. You stated that you don't blame me for cancelling your order. The fact is that you cancelled your order, not me, and I didn't say anything about it. I never wanted to get into anything with you, and that's why I didn't mention who it was. But let's not say that I cancelled your order, I simply accepted it when you cancelled.
If scooby had problems with the clutch after installing them, it was not the fault of the springs. Those springs hold better than anything else out there. Scooby came on the forum talking trash about how they "wore out" and didn't hold up, and he would not have bought them if he knew they would not work. After talking trash on the forum about them, he talked to me and that is when I found out he had CHANGED to the Mobil 1. His claim was that it wasn't the oil because they didn't start slipping as soon as he changed the oil, but a ride or two later. I explained that it takes time for the oil to work it's way into the plates and cause the slip. He dismissed that. He said that he changed the oil again and the clutch still didn't grab. I explained that his disks were full of the Mobil 1 and may not get it all out. He continued to blame the springs. Regardless, he said the springs were junk in a public forum like this because they did not correct the problem he had. I'm sure he would have done the same for his motor if I had built it and it had not cured all his turbo problems, or worse yet, had his crank broke after the build.
What spring set are you currently using Scooby?

Knutz based on your response I see you haven't changed one bit.
I never TRASHED the PAMI springs on this forum. I did post that a new OEM clutch slipped for me (during torque surge of an aerocharger ceramic ball bearing variable vane turbo when it spools) with PAMI springs and a stock clutch. I still use the PAMI springs but with a barnett clutch. The barnett clutch doesn't slip like the stock one. Mobil 1 15W50 full synthetic auto oil and mobil 1 20w50 full synthetic motorcycle oil don't cause the barnett clutch to slip with the PAMI springs.
Your obviously not in touch with your customers because two of your 760's are slipping the clutch.

I am editing this because, after reading this, I was not trying to slam on Don. I was trying to bring humor out here and trying to have Don give me a email. I am sure some people took my post the wrong way, which I did not want.
I am sorry if this brought out the negetive in here. I did not want that. I hope that some people understand. I guess some people just don't get my sense of humor.
