Diaphragm vs. Borg and Beck.............

Clamp pressure is clamp pressure. You get it low base + centrifugal, i get it high base - whatever i choose to temporarily hold back. You have reduced clamp pressure on launch, so do I. You have more clamp come in later to keep the clutch from slipping down track, so do I. I pointed out the difference in clamp after the shift, something you don't necessarily want from your setup but can't do anything about. My setup can launch higher than yours without knocking the tires loose.

You keep saying i wear out clutch discs, but typical slip time here on launch is around 1 sec. How long does your clutch slip on launch?

Typically, it's a bit longer than that.

But like everything else, you try and simplify it beyond what is reasonable. If you think big base pressures (I consider that to be over 1200 pounds for the applications WE are discussing) and slipping the clutch is good, welcome to 1975.

I have used as low as 600 pounds of base and 300 pounds of counter (which was just the fingers) and the clutch was locked up. At the time, I shifted at 8500 and two stepped it at 6300 (depending on conditions).

So why in the f£€k would I want to use 2400 pounds of base and just make it slip? Why not use a disc with a high coefficient of friction and make science work for you instead of brute strength?

It ain't that hard. Until you come along and screw it up with your hillbilly antics.
