so i talked to a few guys at the SSSS about clutches and sandtires. Ther general consensus is Skat Trak smoothies in front one size bigger is perfect.
Then we come to rear paddles.
Skat Trak says Tim Kelly's 12 paddle staggered Glider works well.
Fullerton says you cant beat STU's.(these guys are arrogant and even i know better that a larger tire that will not spin and sucks donkey crank)
A couple of other vendors say 8 paddle Extremes will pull out of the hole hard and hard on acceleration while cornering. But move alot of sand on the top end which costs hp.
so thinking of the dunning i do, which is hard and fast cornering on and off the gas. The top end speed is not what i am looking for. I want a car that pulls hard off the line. So i think the 8 paddle extremes will be the ticket. Worst case i drag my ass over to Tim and buy a set of stagger cut gliders.
Now lets talk clutching.
Airdam says rage 3 with gen 1 secondary is good for 120ish hp
Kris has the rage 6 and gen 2 secondary setup (i requested this setup and he says its great for future big hp)
Kelly at KMS says Rage 6 with gen 2 secondary and he will tune for $350
EPI says they have a clutch kit for $300ish that wil raise the shift rpm and have a smoother backshift
Tim Kelly says use the damn stock clutch and lighten the spring for less drag and heat. He also says let the clutches cool themselves down after running it hard, by letting it idle in neutral or electric blower fan.
the clutching is my biggest question. If i do nothing and use the Tim Kelly method i would always be worried. Now if i swap out the clutches for the STM rage 6 i will never be worried and have plenty of room to increase hp.
just talking out loud, these topics have been beaten to death recently.
