Default Do you really need a twin-disk clutch with a blower

I have a new Spec 3 and was wondering if that would still hold with approx 540 to the wheels? On street tires it will just blow the tires off anyway but when i go to the track i like to rev it to 6000 and dump it with Mickey's on. I just realized that a Mcleod clutch kit is $2500 with the master cylinder and i really dont want to spend that. Thanks people

If you are making that kind of power your torque is outlandish for a clutch like that. With an application like that, and because you do go to the track that clutch will not last very long. Doesn't matter if you only go to the track every once in awhile, torque is torque and unless you don't have adequate parts you'll be replacing them often.

Find one used if you have issues with price. I got a Street Twin with McLeod steel flywheel and adjustable master for somewhere around $600.

And whether your Spec 3 could take the abuse or not...doesn't matter in my opinion. Do you feel like changing clutches often? I sure as hell don't. Go with a "sure thing" and be able to sleep better at night.

What's your rate? Since I own you now maybe you can fetch some good money working a corner in Dupont Circle...
