So after a little mishap with my last bug involving a leaking injector and some big flames, I was in the market for a replacement. This one popped up at a dealership a couple of weeks later with only 110k on the clock, I went with my gut and put a deposit down sight unseen. It was a bit of a gamble but it paid off, right?

i'm getting my bug tuned (on a hub dyno) on e85 on tuesday. i noticed over the past few weeks the clutch is probably on it's way out. i can't notice it slipping, but it does feel worn. i tried the the "take off in fourth gear" method of testing the clutch and it stalled as it should... Just. Should I wait for a new clutch before getting the tune done or do you think at ~280+whp it should be alright. Any advice or other tests i can do?

Test should be done in third to my knowledge. Not that it would have made a difference in this instance.
