Clutch Thoughts

What would you recommend in my situation (600hp 500" stroker)? I have a B&B/Long pressure plate (2400 base pressure and counterweights) and a McLeod 100 series organic disc (still on the workbench). Should I rather get a 500 series dual friction disc?

If you actually have that pressure plate...Id call Cale Aronson at Black Magic Clutches. If your pressure plate isn't adjustable (for base pressure) he may still have the parts to make it adjustable. You won't get a whole bunch of adjustment like you will with a Long pressure plate but you can have some adjustability. I think I can set my base pressure as low as 400 and as high as 990 and then I can add CW which I think is about 8 grams right now.

If you are going to use the rag disc...IMO I think you can drop the base load down to ~1500-1600 and work with your CW to get it locked up at max RPM.

You're only a disc and a tune up away from running a Sof-Lok style clutch. That's what I run in mine.
