Anybody use clutch tamer
I have to figure out the lingo with talking to people on adjustments. The base is set to 550 at zero turns. So add 33lb per base spring? And 1g per lever right? I have two charts that came with it
I’d run the base up to 1k and start making passes on it.
The disc wears from the outside in. As it wears in it gets more aggressive because you have more surface area.
As it’s coming in, start dropping the plate load down. I think you’ll need to be no more than 600 or so pounds of base load. Probably a bit less.
Use your counterweight to get the clutch locked up at high rpm.
That is assuming they sent you an HCF disc and not the other disc material. You want the most aggressive disc to use the least amount of base load you can.
If you screw anything up (it’s actually pretty hard to screw up) it will most likely be in the burnout.
Even with 1k base load that’s not a lot of load, and when you do the burn out you need to get the tires spinning. I make sure the water is spread far enough towards the starting line so that when you roll to the edge of the water you’ve made a complete revolution of the tires.
If the dude running the water box doesn’t do send a crew guy up there and have him do it. That dude and the track aren’t paying for your parts so make sure you don’t let them do something to a stick car because they don’t have a clue.
Once the tires are spinning you don’t want to drive through the clutch at the finish of the burnout.
Once I let go of the line lock and the car starts rolling forward I push in the clutch. I do not let tire speed and engine speed catch up to each other before I push in the clutch. You can easily miss and drive through the clutch.
If you do drive through the clutch you have to get the disc out and glass bead it. Then you start over breaking in the disc.
