Andy and I came up with a stronger pressure plate and a slightly bigger disc and different material.

It is really a Southbend clutch SS-DXD-FE.

It is available now to the 3s market and there is a similar clutch setup we are running on 2 dsms. (1 now, 1 later).

FYI, We've had an act2600 street disc hold 425awhp on our dyno, its getting one of the southbend units now.

honestly, maybe not as much torque, but I also don't see a whole lot of people here pushing the limits jet. shane, chris, and swanny I can see pushing it-yet, swanny's car works just fine without that clutch. I know you and steve have the power, but honestly, it's nothing that a 6-puck or disc can't handle. Cher's old car made more power, and he still only had a 2900.

Torque is the only limiting factor to a clutch as far as power goes. HP has nothing to do with it. Also Swanny is running a larger clutch than a DSM does, so that doesn't mean crap. How much torque did Cher's car make?

A single disk will handle most of it on a DSM, but you end up replacing them often at high HP levels. A twin disk will last much longer.

WTF does this past page have to do with the dyno day? Start a new thread ladies.
