Thats what I thought. Is it easy to adjust at the track?

I ordered the latest Quick Time bell with the adjustable clutch window, but I dont really think I can adjust the base pressure side, only thing I could do is ad counter weight on the fingers.

But for now, it hits well enough, yet still slips compared to the street style clutches I was used to.

I am hoping when the weather get nice again, maybe the extra power the motor will be making might bring the clutch right in where I want.

Then there is the other side of me what wants to throw the plate kit on it and go for broke, like fastest T56 f body So I am up in the air on whats next, other than keep running the local Stick class and keep gaining points

Launch looks great as does the whole setup.

Just an FYI.
The more power you make the softer the clutch needs to be. Find a way to be able to adjust base @ the strip.

Man I think the fastest t56 f body needs to come to the LSX side. I am secretly wanting to go for the fastest t56 but when that happens the car will be a nostalgic race car

car weight is 3125 with me in it full of fuel.(a whole 3 gallons LOL)

I know you can adjust base pressure and add couterweight to the clutch fingers that will also change how base acts. sucks not being able to get to the base adjustments though.... I could deff take at least a 1 to 2 turns out for summer time.

a nitrous setup is in the works.
