I think like many others in the past - he didn't take time to read any post other than the original.

Who installed the clutch? I use one and have had no issues - I know of two other Modded Kenne Bell/Whipple blown Cobras in the same boat.

huh? it's impossible to see the flywheel bolts with the pressure plate on...even in that pic with the pressure plate destroyed, you can't see it.
they're in the middle, here:

90% of premature wear out on clutches is from having pressure on the diaprhagm all the time.. improper clutch adjustment, and you are running on less than full clamping pressure. fractions of an inch mean hundreds of psi in clamp load

was your disengagement very high on the pedal or down low?

i'd still go with it being install error of some sort. Why would you even stick that clutch in there when its overkill? Why not wait and get the right part if they sent the wrong one?
