don't go WOT until you put 450-500 miles of stop go driving. Always shift before 3000 rpm. I did it with my centerforce dfc , took me for ever to go 500 miles cause it my dd and I live close to my work

yup, drive it gently the first 500 miles. No WOT shifts, and no launches. Personally, I don't see the problem going WOT when the clutch is fully engaged, but make sure it is fully engaged and not slipping when going WOT.

welcome. It's very hard to drive 500 miles and not go wot, but can be down
I did it so can you , just to let you know my car is giving me about 13 mpg as I am 95% of the time WOT.

I was driving like old lady for months to put on 500 miles, got lot's ricer fly-by but didn't give a ***** cause I know I will ****ed up my clutch if I did. Now my clutch is over 600 miles and I don't get any challenge
