My dyno is a Super Flo which is an eddy current type like a Mustang dyno. I've heard that you can't see any results on these types of dynos. I don't now if it's true or not. My dyno results did not change at all. I would like to take a pull on a dyno jet just to see what numbers I come up with.

There are lots of twins that will work. This Fidanza is meant for a 2010 Camaro. This guy just has the ability to produce the correct spacers for this to work in the V. Textralia has a twin as well as McLeod. Its just a matter getting a spacer or the correct slave to work with the clutch. I just bough an Exedy that was made for an LS7 Vette. If its made for a direct fit, then either the LS7 slave I have or the spacer I have for the stock slave should work. Of course I will measure everything before it goes together just to make sure.

Sounds good let us know what the outcome is.

so technically the 20 whp claim is bs ?

raven154

Not really. The engine isn't using its horse power to spin the flywheel now. Its using it to spin the wheels. Its not gaining any hp, its freeing it up to use somewhere else.

Yea so basically the dyno is BS, most liekly the clutch was slipping on the intitial dyno with the stock clutch and by replacing it with a new clutch and no slippage it didnt technically gain any hp.

Well........I've always thought that the lower weight of the drive train would reduce the parasitic loss to the rear wheels. Normally it's 15 to 17% in a V (so I've heard) 400bhp/ 335rwhp. It certainly seems to make sense that you could realize some gains. I would defer to some other propeller heads that know all the physics involved. I don't think anyone who drove the twin would say that the cars performance did not feel improved. Most guys buy twins to hold up to some big power. I didn't.

That's right, but I also think he had the pressure plate revised as well. Just wondering if the Exedy has a strapped floater plate. That seems to quiet them down a bit.

I think the exedy can come with either. Not sure which one I have until it comes in. Most likely not but that doesn't really bother me. I just want something that will shift gears all the way to redline. Haven't been able to do that now for a while with the spec.

Ya but that sale isnt fot the light flywheel, its for the heavy 28lb.

I think to comapre it to the 6.5 you have to look at the price of the light weight fly.

Plus The 6.5 is rated for 625ft/lb of tq. Thats plenty.
Then monster is ratted for 700 which is alittle higher.

But the twin disk should still still out last it if disigned right .

I like raven also just want to bang gears at high RPM's, because I havent been able to since I installed the spec back in november.

Yea ill look around it sounds like the twin disk is where its at but i really would prefer something besides fidanza. I also would be happier with the 28lb flywheel then the 18lb. Maxspeed what are you revving your car to with the cam, ill have mine in next week and the tuner/installer said id have the rev limiter at 6900 and shift at 6800 but i doubt ill be shifting that high on a stock clutch and flywheel for long..

I'd pick a twin over a single puck style disk. The new twins just drive better. The singles have been around and they work, but in order to get them to hold, you need a high sprung plate and a real high friction disk. That being said, there are plenty of good singles out there but almost every major clutch manufacturer is coming out with a twin now.

any word on a video yet ? and also how about takin that bad boy to the track with that clutch setup.

I thought about raising my limiter but then decided to just leave it at 6,500. I beat my car pretty hard, figured Id play it safe. Plus im on the stock oil pump still.
You shouldnt have any issues with a 18lb fly, I have a 22 and its not bad at all. Idle is fine and the qwk revs feel awsome.

And fidanza is a good brand and has been in the game for years, im sure they have a good product. Monster does to Im sure, but do get brainwashed by the lime green paint and the badass smiley face.. lol

lol i hear ya im doing a melling high volume pump as well. Im definetly gonna get him to tuen the nitrous rich just to be safer. I guess when the time comes ill really dive into the clutch research, im leaning towards the tiwn disc but hate the limited reviews so far. Lets hope that issue comes later rather then soon.

ronni

just install my brand new 6.5twin disc in my car with new slave.

drove around about 1 hour and it spinns!
anyone with the same issue?
is there a breakin time on this clutch?

my car is about 950kg,370hp ls1......
anyone knows what my problem is?

What's it in? Did you measure for proper slave length?

maxspeed05V

iTrader: (4)

I guess the oither guys says its 500 miles for the break in, I didnt get a break in sheet but Ive been taking it easy .

Define spinns. Does it make a whirring noise when it's sitting idle or do you mean it doesn't engage the flywheel and just spins. Is your car an F body (LS1)?

How's the 1st gear take offs going so far?
