    I agree that it was more likely a WOT shift at 8k, not just going up to 8k. Its just the point that the car wasn't designed to go that high, and neither was the aftermarket clutch he had I guess. I've made a WOT shift at around 7k rpm in a car that had similar hp and torque, and probably weighed twice as much, without any damage. Its just seems odd to me that even at that power the clutch would come apart like it did. It doesn't happen much unless your flywheel and clutch are old and worn thinner than the recommended specs.
