Yeah, and I knew it but thought the N20 would take care of it.. I'll be putting the steel one back in soon.

Very true.. It only makes 330rwhp and tq on motor so not really enough to get the car moving with the aluminum flywheel.

Yeah, I'm going to try to get one of them.. I don't want to put the stock steel on back in with that heavy clutch I have.. It would tear it apart quickly..

We have 2 bets

1st bet
Motor to Motor you leave on 2nd Yellow & I leave on Green at K-Dale. I GOT THIS RACE IN THE BAG

2nd bet My Motor to your Spray (WHATEVER SHOT YOU WANT TO SPRAY) for $20 Heads up. I think the odds are in your favor on this race. But I will come correct. TRUST ME

ALSO I DOUBT YOU WILL RUN BETTER THEN A 6.80 on the spray.

What are you running these days? Single disk? dual disk? 11"? 12" What spline are those trans you run? Im wondering what I can do for the newer Mach guys that want to make big power. Do you have your stock flywheel I could take to my clutch guys to see what they come up with to hold some power? Something in a single disc with not a lot of peddle effort and able to hold 800 hp..

Dan, don't let them discourage you, I only managed to put down 362rwhp and a awesome 322rwtq and manage to run 7.16 @ 98.6MPH...

Im not discouraging him one bit. But he has to understand when and when not to use the flywheel he has know. Ive warned him as well as others when he was originally installing it.

You are fast with no hp because your car is LIGHT

Get some good suspension in the *** and it will fly. Dont worry about the not squatting right now. You need to worry about transfer. As Madman says, "Race cars dont squat, only girls do!"

It is a single disk 11" Ram 900 HD 26 spline shaft clutch.. Rated around 650rwhp.. I do have the stock flywheel still.. The peddle is going to be about the same no matter what clutch since we use a cable.

I got some good suspension in the front and rear, just need someone to help me dial it all in.. But I need to put the steel flywheel in there first. and my fuel system so I can spray this bitch.

The cable stuff doesnt really matter bro. its the Pressure plate style you are using...

Believe it or not the Textrailia single setups are stock Luk/Valeo Pressure plates. The disk is what is somewhat special. Its out of a HD dump truck..LOL

Its also a 26 spline. I ask because a disk is a disk, Dan. The only problem with the 11" stuff is the surface area. Getting 650hp out of what you have will be like winning the lottery. Now if it was a 12" setup like the Tex stuff then you get another 1/2 or better of pressure plate material and an inch on the disc to grab the flywheel.

An 11" setup uses a 10 5/8 or so disc. 12" setup uses 11 5/8 disc. I wanted to see a stock Mach flywheel simply to see if the 12" setup will still bolt up with minimal modification like the Tex stuff does on the GM cars. Ive sourced all the parts they use and get the better stuff at a fraction of the cost. Tex clutches feel like stock...cause they are stock in the pressure plate area. Its out of a 2500 GMC truck..lol

You might be right on the amount of power you can put down on my style of clutch, the most I have put down is 550rwhp and 635rwtq on a 175shot with no slip so it was doing good for that amount of hp and tq.
