Default Re: Clutch guys

May seem simplistic, by rather than worry about what the dyno sheet says, why not just try different launch RPMs, and see what goes the quickest? A dyno pull is quite different than how a car and engine work when going down the dragstrip, especially a stick car. On my low 10 second SB Ford, with a 4 speed and Soft Lok clutch, I find dropping the clutch at 6600 RPM, and shifting at 7000 produces the best 1/4 performance. Only real way to know is to experiment.
