My understanding is it's a fully built race engine so it was supposed to handle the RPM but the clutch evidently couldn't...
There are MANY good pics on the thread but here's 1 to whet your appetite first.....

Reminds me of the time an alternator exploded under the hood of my Syclone in the middle of bum-fuk Iowa leaving me stranded and having to hitch-hike for parts!! But my hood only got a little dent/chip from the fan, nothing like this....

how was it not the owners fault the clutch was a modular unit and not designed to be revving that high!!!! if he wanted to rev that high he should have whent with a light flywheel setup... instead of a remanned sachs unit with a 6 puck stuffed in there.... It was his fault... Dumbass FTW!!!

We've had some problems like this on the J-car forums..... but that is mostly due to Spec (re-stickered Fedenza's) Aluminum flywheels comming apart.... I think only one actually came out of the bell housing, but I've seen pics of 3 or 4 of these that failed.
