Hi Guys,

Hi,
I'm not at the 1000hp range (me car is 600+) but had many issues with clutch and decide to go with Tilton 7,25' triple Sinter/Metal disc clutch. They use them in NASCAR.
So it is with hardest diaphragm - support 1200nm+. Not any slipped or sliding.
But - big game to suit it in the g.box....need some changes in the gearbox bell, throw out bearing need changes,the flywheel needs....
And the big minus is - this kind of clutches are ON/OFF - not (or very hard) for street usage. Need practice. But You will forgot about sliding clutch when boost come in .

i use a 7.25" twin disc, and have a hard time with the Ceramic bronze discs slipping.

but with the Sintered Iron ones i have, i can slip out of the hole just fine and it holds my measly 800+ Awhp.

the good part for me is i only have to use the clutch to launch, i dont clutch to shift.

and that ON/OFF action is the whole reason i never did the triple disc in the beginning.
