Some info 'bout me
<html><div style='background-color:'><DIV>
<P>My stock clutch is smoked. I need the stronger clutch to hold nitrous. I only run a small shot but its more than the stock set up can handle. I was thinking about using stock disk with upgraded pressure plate next time around.<BR><BR></P></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>>Having run the Kennedy 6-puck in my rallycar, I wouldn't call the actuation
<DIV></DIV>>"harsh". But, it is definitely abrupt. -not really on/off, but way grabbier
<DIV></DIV>>than stock. Now, that was a version with a sprung center section. If you use
<DIV></DIV>>one with a solid center, then *THAT* will be incredibly harsh. I don't
<DIV></DIV>>recommend that at all for what you're doing.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Assuming that you're running some Schrick 260 - 276 cams, I figure that
<DIV></DIV>>you'll be pumping out around 160hp. My clutch (Sachs 8v disk/2.0l 16v
<DIV></DIV>>pressure plate) slipped on my 2.0l 16v with 42mm runners, Schrick 260s, and
<DIV></DIV>>ported/polished head. How is your current clutch doing?
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>You're right on the edge as far as the stock clutch holding up, but you're
<DIV></DIV>>not really in need of a 6-puck. That's my opinion, anyway. If I were you,
<DIV></DIV>>I'd run the stock disk and a stronger pressure plate. That'll give you very
<DIV></DIV>>smooth actuation but will eliminate the slip.

<DIV></DIV>>6puck. we'll let you know how that is, but were guessing that its a little
