    Re: Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

    Sounds like all the little problems that kept you from racing this year may be fixed except for the clutch. Throw on in and come down.

    The best drag race I ever saw was Marra and You circa 2011 at Cecil. I'd like to see Reeves and Lengel this time around.

    Re: Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

    I would probably throw in the clutch that you have and head out. I wouldn't want to start out the spring with this problem and no work done on it. Let it be know that this advice is contrary to everything I actually do in real life.

    How has the dual disc done with axle life?

    Are you running MPH based boost with that rear wheel speed sensor?

    Re: Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

    Biggest concern would be the extra weight of those two disks (What were they, 5lbs?) and how that would effect high rpm shifting. You do however, have the crash box cut gears. (maybe compensate a little?)

    IF you're considering running the dual disk next year (putting it in over winter) then I would suggest (if you have the time) putting it in Now and going out and finding out IF it's going to work for you. That way you have the entire off-season to replace it with a clutch that Will work IF need be.

    I would Hate to see you handcuffed by the dual disk for any part of next year (If that's the outcome) vs never having to worry about the clutch again!

    I like your thinking.

    No, it was the stock flywheel that was thinned (to make the dual disc package fit) and also counterbored in the bolt area (so that the first disc didn’t interfere with the bolt heads). The counterbored holes are what failed (cracked all the way around….the center of the flywheel broke out). I have the entire assembly cleaned up and ready to test again, but this time I thinned the bolt heads instead of counterboring the flywheel.

    I agree that would be fun!

    AFAIR (remember) I didn’t break any axles with the dual disc. It was a very nice setup. Easy to slip/control.

    The plan is to run MPH based boost off the rear wheel. We are not quite there yet on the logic module side of things. Only made 1 full run on MPH boost and while it did work, it didn’t react quite the way we wanted it to (sluggish switching, takes too long to learn, etc). I’m really hoping we can get that worked out very soon. I think this is going to be a major breakthrough for me and the car. Less breakage and hopefully faster :Eyebrows: I’m currently running a low boost button on the shifter knob. I hold it in for first gear and 2nd gear change and then let loose. Running 12psi on low and 30psi on high at the moment.

    To be honest, I do remember having some shifting problems with the dual disc and other clutches before it, but I never 100% pinpointed what for sure it was or if it was a combination of things. I upgraded a lot since then (crash cut gears, new cables, bronze fork pads, 3 pads on selector, etc).

    I have decided to keep the dual disc on the back burner and keep working on the current clutch.

    Dumb question: how are those crash cut gears working out? Obviously they haven't broken, but how are they about engagement, drivability, etc...you know...all the little things...?

    Re: Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

    Can you use some sort of doubler on the back of the flywheel to spread out the load those bolts apply? Been a long time since I saw pictures of how it went together.

    Re: Reeves' OMNI GLH-R Update!

    Something to keep in mind while testing out an unproven clutch; (or Any clutch for that matter)

    When you "think" you're spinning the slicks on the high end (3rd/ 4th gears) and you're at a track like Norwalk (one of The Best Hooking tracks in the country) the Reality is.....Your Clutch is Slipping!

    This is one of the toughest things to figure out on the Spot, and it "seems" so unlikely because the car Keeps going, run after run!

    Ceramic clutches do Not slip like organic, IF they do, they are DONE DONE DONE! First sign, good traction Hook (60') and you "think" the tires are spinning or "tire shake" on the high end and the clutch is Already Overpowered. At that point it's just a matter of time.

    This is the Best advice I can give you going forward, hope you Don't end up needing it

    Good luck Bro and Hope it all works out for you!!!

    To be 100% honest, you can't even tell other than quicker/easier shifts. I couldn't believe it either. In my head it seems like it would be sloppy on the street when on/off throttle, but you can't tell at all. If they survive, it's a major win.
