[QUOTE="1995COBRA-R, post: 6870753, member: 9515"] BT gave you the links. It's not "how you use it" but "what you need to use it for". Tilton makes "race only" stuff. When they manufacturer a small clutch and flywheel system, you'll find that the engine will rev up quicker. It's because there is less flywheel/clutch/pressure plate mass for the engine to turn. What you lose is streetability. Heck, a full race clutch system will not let you even drive your car in a trailer (you must push or wench it in). I know guys that use real road race clutches. They have to tow their car to the grid (since you can blow up the clutch trying to drive it down to the grid). Their crew helps "push" the car off from a dead stop (again, it'll wreck the clutch if you aren't careful). They also tear down the whole assembly after each race in order to verify wear on the competents. They will "power" out of a corner faster than me, but that comes with a high price tag. You must exactly follow their instructions perfectly as to "Why are Tilton bellhousings blueprinted for parallelism and concentricity". These things only work well when speced to a few thousands of an inch. The sell "offset" bellhousing bolts so you you can dial that sucker in perfectly every time. Otherwise, you will tear up a few thousand dollars in parts. After one increases the horsepower on a car, they will quickly find many other "weak areas" in the entire car. I have a simple formula. It will cost you $20K for every $10K of engine horsepower improvements. Tim may disagree, and we promise not to tell his wife about the costs if he wants to share this with us. :-D I previously thought that women were expensive. (Here): [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_Spitzer_prostitution_scandal"]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eliot_Spitzer_prostitution_scandal[/URL] Now I think that women are cheaper than racing. :beer: I'd never suggest that any racer would ever need to pay money for services (politicians do :pepper: ).
