Message	Hey, I'm confused about what to do about breaking in my new RPS Sport/Street clutch. I've heard everywhere from 500miles of no boosting, to boost all you want just take it easy shifting, to no break in at all. Now SpecialtyZ says this: "Please break in your clutch properly. We recommend at least 200 miles of stop and go driving, w/ no slipping. You can get on it, just don't slip or try to drag launch your new clutch." I don't really understand this either. I don't know of any other way to start out from first gear without slipping the clutch a little... What makes the most sense to me is take it easy on the shifting, no hard launches, but once the clutch is disengaged, it shouldn't matter how fast it spins - once the car is in gear, the clutch should be fine, right? Regardless, I've been taking it easy and haven't boosted for ~250 stop and go miles now, just wondering how long I need to go here. So, those who have upgraded their clutch: How long did you take to break it in, and what were the results? Thanks!
