It's pretty old....I have always had problems with ACT to tell you the truth.
I think this QM clutch will be the end of my problems.

I would love to see updates on this clutch and find out its street manners!

These are NASCAR style clutches. I am sure they will hold 800+ RWHP.
Also sure they will be harder to drive on the street, but thats OK.

Were you able to use all that twin-disk stuff you had picked up prior?

It takes a bit of time to get used to on the street, but it's worth it! I'm glad to see there's finally a flywheel readily available for that package.

No, I sold all that stuff. I'm wondering if I made the right decision on this clutch?
I wonder how the 4.5 LBS flywheel will do for launching and also if the twin disk will grab any better than what I had?

I can't really comment on the weight thing, cuz I'm not really sure how much my FW weighs, although it seems a bit on the light side based on how it feels during stop & go traffic.

But, as far as grabbing, you made the right choice. These things do not slip, at all. And even if it were thinking of slipping, as the disks heat up, unlike organic compounds the sintered iron starts grabbing harder.

That one looks like it's aluminum.
If you want it for drag racing, you want the steel flywheel.

Why didn't they tell us about it?
I can't believe how secretive the rotary community is.

Actually, this is what most of the Puerto Ricans run.
If they would have told us, I guess we wouldn't understand them anyway?

Here is another thing to consider on the SPEC mini twin...


''We should be able to provide it within a week when you order. We provide everything you need to convert from pull to push type.""

That might be good for autox and road racing. I wouldn't use it for
drag racing. Not enough rotational mass.

I will post up my results if I put one in. If I can cut some 1.2's I wont be complaining. Besides I can get one for about half the suggested price.
