    I have that clutch in my car for now but much more hp and I will expect it to start to slip.

    Couple years ago when I bought a TU yellow plate/6 puck, I could not find any external differences with a stock PP cover (other than that lovely yellow color) I was suspicious of the claims so I kept it on the shelf until the Rampage was ready for it's new hybrid trans last weekend. In the meantime, I did have the clutch checked out (as it turns out sheerly by coincidence by the guy who built it for TU, what are the odds) Turns out there ARE plenty of mods under the cover, machining, changing of pivot point, that kind of thing that creates the increased clamping force. It is in fact, right about 40% more clamp than stock (slighty more on the PP tester actually).

    I wanted a clutch that will hold but also engage stock-ish, too many hateable clutches have been in my projects over the years So I combined the PP with a stock disc, yes I measured the thickness VS the 6 puck they are within .005-.007 (a little more with the Marcel compressed) so I think it should be fine. After about 75 miles it is working perfectly and I almost never say that about a clutch. They are almost always too much/too sudden/ too harsh/not enough or some other problem. I am liking what I have but will reserve the final opinion until after Mopars at The Strip in 8 days. If the clutch holds the 8.5" slicks, I'll be stoked

    I appreciate you coming forward with your experiences Alan. As you confirmed, we tend to be a bit conservative on all the performance numbers we advertise. Were you in NY recently?

    I am also glad to hear you have been enjoying our clutch so far. What happened to the disk we sold you? I can't guarantee that stock disc you installed will hold up against the slicks. But, let us know how it goes.

    I have it with the ceramic 4 puck in my charger. 325+ foot pounds of torque with a 5000 rpm launch on slicks without any slippage. It is a little grabby but it is easy to get used to.

    Hmm yeah I guess I never said about that. 6000 RPM launches on slicks with a full weight shadow here with atleast 350 ftlbs on the 4 puck/blue plate with the clutch not even thinking about slipping one bit.

    Re: TU's Stuff Highly recommended!

    Well........Chris came through and got my 72pph injectors to my house before the weekend so I can get it on the dyno tommorow. I street tuned it tonite with race gas and even sprayed it a few times. A/F's were 11.2 on 32psi and were jumping between 10's and 11.7 on the bottle........nice and safe now. I can actually admit the car actually scares me now. its not safe in any way shape or form. I like it but it makes me think twice when its on the bottle burning out soooo effortlessly in 4th. The "dyno day" guys are gonna poop when my car is burning out on the rollers good thing im driving it!
    I dont wanna jinx myself, but my guesstimation is more than 550WHP&TQ.

    Thanks Chris!! I will call you tommorow with details! Oh yeah......I got a real video camera for the occassion this time.

    Haha....... Bob's called and my stuff is ready. It was a worn out rod bushing. I brought him all four to check out....... it was #3 that was bad. I'll have the stuff tomorrow and I need to order some stuff too...... in a nutshell I'll be ready soon


    Thanks for the offer on the parts
