I was using the same prototype 11.5" disk Fireball was using and it flat out grabbed! I installed a 11.0" disk (the one coming with the kits now) and it drives better and doesn't seem to loose much in terms of holding power.

It did take me awhile to get used to driving with the setup. It really isn't bad at all after a few days of driving.

This iron clutch holds as much but doesn't have the initial bite the twin has so it seems a *little* easier on parts <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

thats why you build the rest of the drivetrain to handle it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> . i dont imagine the Ram setup would hold 900+ ftlbs. im not sure my street twin will either, but thats ok. ive got 2 spare street twin disks just begging to be padded with kevlar <img border="0" alt="[Burnout]" title="" src="graemlins/burnout.gif" />

well if the T56 can hold, the custom d/s, Spicer U joint and slpi yoke, 1350 rear end yoke, and moser 12 bolt with eaton posi, 4.11s, and 33 splines should. My guess is my posi will go and ill need a spool next. But it should hold for a few good runs. Im tryin to build THE top T56 setup. For n20 use too though, or else i would be grabbing some 4.56s or maybe even the dump truck gears fireball has.
