So here's the deal:

- built 2.7 with Webers. All the tricks possible on this motor
- rebuilt trans
- new flywheel (not resurfaced!)
- new 914 clutch
- New TOB
- new clutch cable

Cable is adjusted so that engagement point is as close to the floor as possible. When I go above 4000 RPM, I get some serious clutch slip. So bad I can't really climb higher, although the car has a 7K limit.

I'm thinking the stock 914 clutch can't hold it, even though it is a brand new clutch. Any ideas here?

I do not believe it is making enough power to overwhelm the stock clutch, unless the stock clutch is super weak.
