Default Re: Clutch guys

I'm not sure I'm getting what I expected out of the initial question.......clutch management wasn't the consideration here. Specifically , you could make the clutch work at a variety of RPMs......my consideration was the connection between "that" and making it work around / at / near , the aforementioned hypothetical engine torque / power point. In other words is the effort (through clutch tuning) made to "exploit" the engines peak points of either or just manage it to get the car to work with little regard to either.
Using my own as an example , with no change in the bell housing and enough base ( because I don't use a data logger ) to launch the car well enough to keep me near or well into decent 60 fts. I can apparently spin or wheel stand just by varying launch RPM. And a wheel stand could be very high , or very little with spin. So the initial thoughts are outside of the bellhousing ....leaning towards , am I changing the cars characteristics at launch because of how the engines power band comes into play ( way over peak torque ) or right at peak torque. It is likely the clutch CW has some input here.....BUT which has the greater influence?
