Default Re: Talk to me about clutches

I run a Centerforce dual friction clutch in my 67 Chevelle with a M20 660 case muncie and a 12 bolt with 3.73 gears. Very good clutch, soft pedal, and I haven't broken anything yet with about 25,000 hard street miles. I launch the car on slicks at the track at least once a month and still no issues.

Thanks.

How much power are you pushing through it, and what does the car e.t.?

60' times?

Eric: I probably sound like a broken record, but all the guys in PS swear by the Centerforce...they're all on skinny, skinny tires, so there must be *some* give in it or else it'd be a spin-fest...not just the top runners running them, but top to bottom of the field. I can't remember *which* CF they're running, though...and we haven't put together a manual Pure Stock car (yet!) so all I know is what I'm told?! I'll rattle some of their cages, though...

Car is a 355 small block, pump gas, high winding (I shift the car at 7800 rpm). The only time I have run it at the track on slicks it went 12.52 @ 114 on motor with a 1.999 60' launching it at around 2500 rpm. If i launched it around 5500 It would be easily in the 1.6-.7 range. I do shoot nitrous through the motor though. I never have any WOT shift slippage issues at all. I have a video of it on street tires and slicks. Don't bash me for where the vids are taking place!!!!

Well, the clutch kit will be here tomorrow. I decided to go with the RAM "Powergrip" clutch kit and 30 lb Hays billet steel flywheel. We'll see how it turns out.

This is not a judgement, just some advise, I would take that off of your Myspace and delete it off this site. A DA would have a field day with that in court.
