Your clutch pack clearance at .055" is fine. I disagree with going from a 5 friction pack to a 4 friction pack however. If you are making less than 600 HP the 4 friction pack will probably be OK, BUT if you are making more than that you are asking for trouble. Your reverse pack longevity will suffer and you open up the possibility of creeping when you go to W.O.T. on the trans-brake. The thinking of making low stronger than reverse is flawed. The object of a trans-brake is to HOLD the car stationary and not move. To do that, both low & reverse must be able to hold equal amounts of torque and not slip.
