This is for my stock 2016 Scat pack Challenger.

Here's some links to devices that are designed to reduce initial clamp pressure...

I'm the "screen door" / ClutchTamer guy, feel free to ask any questions you might have. I don't have a version specifically designed for your Challenger, so a ClutchTamer install is likely going to be more involved than installing one of the in-line devices above. I say likely because I have heard bleeding the clutch on those cars can be quite a chore.

Here's a link to my Initial Setup & Tuning Guide. If you only want to add a little slip, that's no problem. A little slip goes a long way in reducing the impact that gets passed along to your stock IRS.

How about your left foot and its adjustable ? I have been 10.14 on a stock IRS camaro. Just have to be comfortable with the car and practice once you get it down you'll be fine ,Its a fine line of slipping the clutch for sure.

It's pretty much impossible to produce throwout bearing pressure curves like these with your foot...

Just going from my experience that's all been doing it for years .Like I said it takes practice and coordination ,but its very doable and I've proven it several times over!

The clutch tamer seems like a great tuning tool for sure , but if you know your car well enough the left foot does just fine also in a street car with occasional track use.

And, I would say much faster and easier then adjusting the air gap on a slipper clutch. You convinced me, at 69 I don't have years to learn with my left foot.

Neat deal although I do not think it would be legal in stock or super stock.
