Default Re: Stick racers.......step in please.

Joe, I'm the wrong guy to ask on clutches, chassis, etc. I'm barely smart on engines, but I will tell you what little I know. Yes, we were truly clutch assisted, clutching every gear. And sir, I made a mistake with the clutch deal. We were running the soft loc in the dart buick, which was 100 HP better then the iron head 291. it went 1.26 in 60. The runs we ran high 9's and 60 footed high 120's we were running a ram street strip rag, 30# steel fly wheel, and 1800# base. On the dart buick we ran sintered iron, aluminum 18# fly wheel, and i think 350 base. We ran better with the heavy pressure plate and fly wheel on the 630 HP motor, and ran better on the 720HP motor with the lite stuff. I know other people all run better with the lite stuff, but we never quite figured it out. And yes we go through the lights at above 10,000 in the 1\4. We also ran better leaving at 8,800 then we did leaving at 9,700. There's way smarter guys on here to help you with your 60 ft. then me.
