Yeah, I talked to their sale rep at their display at the NHRA race at Brainerd and he said it will only support 450 hp or something like that. It seemed really low so I let it be.

Re: SPEC clutches A++

I can see that happening. They are very tough clutches. It sounds like you didn't need the SPEC Stage 3. You probably should of had something like the Stage 1 or 2.

Yeah, I have been told I need a stiffer spring up front but with a 1.40 60 ft. I wasn't complaining. I just hope the switch will get me in the 1.3 range. Thanks

Re: clutch and flywheel

I bought the VERY lightweight crank. It is super secret and very few are running it. The less bolts you have to use, the lighter the setup. :metal:
