clutch recomendations?

Tom keedle · 04-18-2010, 05:02 PM

don't be a dick and I won't be...
thought i WAS specific, what more do you want to know?
i'm not gonna be running in the upper classes of stock OR superstock nor do i have stock in ACT clutches

gmonde is on the same plane as me, i think or at least is more realistic.
last i checked,ACT didn't have anything i could use (AMC)but i could be wrong...

besides, i could run a LUK if it had the sfi sticker on it...

maybe impact has a few they'd sell me....

btw,seems like the only way i'd have to worry about a heads-up race is if i'd build 2 cars...
way too many autos out there..

hope this helps

how do you like the iron plate?
THAT's what i'm trying to decide on anyway...
that and how many "pads"...
i AM leaning toward the B&B Ram adjustable (think it's like 2200# to 2500#)...

depends on whether you are plannining on using the clutch or not between gears. sintered iron if not clutching, rag if using the clutch.

tomslick,
You can use sintered iron and use clutch on gear changes.I would redrill flywheel for long style pressure plate the ram is most economical can get adjustable long style and sintered iron disc around 700.00.(new)You'll need lower base pressure though probaly 1200# and lower.Anyone that has bridgeport style mill and knows how to use it can redrill flywheel for long style,I have even done it on vavle/guide seat machine before.
On low power car clutch is still important because if it does'nt have controlled slippage it will bog on launch and or gear changes or both.

mile is right, you can use the iron clutch if using the clutch, i just meant the rag was quicker for us driving conventionally. the sintered iron will have the very least pedal pressure.
