has anyone tryedto shim there non adjustable clutch psi plateto the flywheel to try and drop the clamping psi thus getting a lit bit of slip out of the clutch. To help get a car off the line?

I don't know a ton about the physics of a clutch but what would stop it from slipping all the time then?

friction and all i am looking to do is soften up the clamping froce a tad.it can be done

interesting, never heard of anyone doing that

neat

I think that's a great idea, and I would love to hear from someone who has done it.

I've had good luck in other cars with Centerforce dual friction clutches having some give, but I've never tried a Centerforce in an LS application. Also, never tried the Centerforce with more than about 500 RWHP in a 3200 lb car.

Keep us posted man, that's a killer idea.

I did, didnt end up well, as I now have a new motor.... And my car is less than 3200 lbs...

CenterForce sucks.....

I dont think regular discs have enough friction to work like this, however if you could get a true sintered iron disc, maybe....

If you have a ford long pattern on your flywheel we can set you up with a set pressured long style pressure plate and a low coeffecient sintered iron disc.

And this last one is me fighting the setup with new found power

Badd SS i have read that it should be a true sintered iron disc.and is this type of setup what you were trying before yours let go??? and it sucks but i thought u and me were going to be fighting for some good sbe 346 times

Based on what I saw on your flywheel it does not look like you have a ford long pattern. So you would need to have a machine shop install the pattern for a 11" ford long. Then you could use our 360535 long style pressure plate and a 5004-07 LCF Sintered Iron Disc.

If you could find the money you'd be better served going with our Soft Lok unit p/n 4914-00-07.

using a shim.... rob, weren't you with chris at last year st. Louis And saw how that worked for me

anyone dose it with the hydraulic, a good adjustable electronic valve and a timer. I know some evo guys bought the stuff and got it set this up last year. I never heard how it worked.

Breaking in my RXT, I like it alot so far.

I read about the ford guys shimming there but billy cleared that up with me on how they get it to work.

and you shim your clutch for the LSx shoot out. and i will have to ask the guys at ams about the setup your talking about

Nice vid's - I see the car has hoosiers on it now

Rob I don't know how grabby the Tex is or if you have a tick master......but have you tried to move the engagement/release point around? I found giving the rod more length and moving the engagement up gave me a little me a little more pedal - and made it easier to slow down the hit. Makes it easier to shift too - just bump the clutch and your done. My Monster is stupid grabby and the car doesn't really start moving until it's released fully.
