Re: Stick car, too much clutch?
Different things work for different cars. I know two guys(very fast) that not only do they not run cw they cut off the ears on the levers where the cw mounts to. I haven't had the guts to try that yet because once you go there you can't go back. My 327 ran alot better with no cw at all. I was only running 150 base also. You could start the car put it in gear and get out and it wouldn't move. I still have to figure out what the 283 is going to want. Alot depends on rpm also. You can run real low base if your leaving at 8400-8600.

Re: Stick car, too much clutch?
If you are trying to leave and shift at the same RPM CW is useless.

Re: Stick car, too much clutch?
To align the bell housing, I thread a long spring center bolt into the crank with a jam nut, and mount the dial indicator on it. I also check to make sure the bell housing mounting surface is parallel to the crank mounting surface--it sometimes is not!

Re: Stick car, too much clutch?
What is your point? Is that a shot toward some one?

Re: Stick car, too much clutch?
"The point is / was, from my understanding the disruption of power with a clutch assisted trans usually requires CW for recovery."
CW is not required if there is enough base clamp load. If the torque of the engine (which is what slips a clutch) is higher at take-off rpm, say 4000, and the base is just enough to hold there, then you have more than enough base pressure=clamp load at shift rpm where torque is lower. What seems to be often done is to have the base lower than that, with the CW contribution at 4000 just enough to give a bit of slippage to prevent bogging the engine. Then, at shift rpm, the combined base and CW clamping loads are enough for full lockup. Of course, the CW contribution increases with rpm whereas the base stays the same. |
