|
|
Gonna have a 200ish HP engine in a mid engine 2 seater OG high jumper sandrail, need a rec on a clutch disk, going to be running a stg 2 kennedy plate, not looking for something radical like a 3 puck, maybe a 4 or 6 puck or something else?
I guess looking for something that works and thats not so grabby like a 3 puck and wont slip, customer will have his foot into the throttle half the time and then putts around the other half.
(dont know the gearing in the trans sorry) |

Most anything with "pucks" will be grabby. And for that light vehicle, does it really need a "stage 2" pp? That'll just make the pedal harder to push and make what ever disc you do use that much more grippy. |

Got NOS on it, May or May not use it, reason for stg 2 and has hydraulic clutch, is the daiken the standard style clutch disk?
I had been looking at the 4 and 6 pucks, of setup was a 3 pucks and stg 4, he's just looking for a little drivability at low spds without so much grabbiness and hooks good high rpm, you know the best of both worlds 😁 |

Kennedy 6 puck has worked very well for us offroad, the stock type clutch disks have a very short life with larger tires and more hp. The 6 puck is much smoother that a 4 puck.
Good Luck

Daiken or kush lock will work just fine.
Years ago on my first rail i ran a 1700 pound pp with a puck style disc it worked great but it wore a groove in the pressure plate that was kind of deep.This was with my 1776 engine.
I later switched to a standard disc and no more grooving the PP went to 1914 went to daiken same PP no issues and now a 4 seater car with paddles in glamis.Now a 2275 still using a daiken and 1700 pound plate with no issues i get 3-4 seasons out of a disc which reminds me it will prob need changing soon.But have yet to have one slip. _________________ Click to view image

You look into the copperhead? It's damn smooth when you want it to be and a firm shifter with instant feedback to your foot. I thought it overkill but didn't want to drop the engine again so I put the copperhead in. I rally like it. My buddy's that drive all comment on smooth engagement and just feels good. Completely subjective but a lot in these cars is. _________________ Royals 2015 World Champions

Bingo
Only thing not to like is it is a little heavier, but not as heavy as a six puck. |

Spaced on that one, I'm gonna run that on a street turbo, but didn't think about using it in the sand. |

Same here. KEP Stage 2 & Berg Centerforce disc with 200+ HP to the wheels. Excellent both on the street and racing, and saves gearboxes! _________________ Neil.

Center force from berg looks good, just checked out
the dual friction from CB, any thoughts on that one? |
