Sintered iron race clutch discussion (was: Pro Spyder intake?)

[ultraflo]

Sounds like you really aren't taking advantage of what this clutch configuration is for yet though. Other than just being able to hold gobs of power/torque, it gives you the ability to use low enough base pressure to allow the clutch to slip during launch (60 ft) enough to let you hook up.

Exactly... I could've benefitted from using some light C/W's and less pressure with the Goodyears, I imagine. With the power I was making combined with the 28x10.5 M/T's, I had all the hook I could ask for... too much, really. The Goodyears offered a best 60ft. of 1.401 while the swap to M/T's netted a best of 1.342, both were achieved with 1110lbs. of pressure and no C/W's combined with a 200hp shot of juice. I have yet to establish a preliminary game plan, as far as the clutch goes, with the new combo. I don't plan to be too far off from what I ended the year with, other than a stronger block, a different cam, and a second stage of nitrous later into the year. I would like to get away with not using the C/W's and see what I can accomplish through tuning the static pressure alone. Should I add C/W's you'll more than likely be one of the first to know, as I will be e-mailing you to see how things are going with your clutch tune... Cool?

Thanks Dan,
