Default Elapsed tune on a clutch job....

I am losing clutch in fourth gear. Want to get on the dragstrip again. I have a 2800 LB Ram PP to replace the 2400 currently installed. My sense is I need to go with a Kevlar clutch. I am still a little surprised I am having this grip problem, but what is is, I guess.

How long should it take to pull the tranny and replace same? Have a tranny jack.........just need to get a clutch ordered and get motivated.

Anybody have thoughts on this slippage issue? Seeing all these Mustang's doing wheelies, I am still dumbfounded my setup won't hold in fourth gear......I was worned, but gave into concern s from a mechanic over clutch pressure...........should have stood my ground...............

Question 2).

37.5 POUNDS of oil pressure is alot better than nothing. But reading certain posts of late has me nervous. Is 37.5 necessarily too low? I started a thread on this some time ago and answers were all over the board. One thread at the time made sense.........lower oil pressure is not necessarily bad......may be indication of good galleys and lack of restrictions in the system.........is that comment bogus? Should I necessarily have more on a 514? 50 LBS at start up. Runs fine, but pressure gauge hangs between 25 and 50 once warmed up. That is probably at lower RPM's........I need to check higher....somehow at 5000 RPM I always have my eye on the road!
