by the way i'm not talkin about major spinnage in second. i'm talkin about a little chirp my car refuses to do that

but why?! get a full face clutch and heavy duty pressure plate, the 6 puck is a little harsh. If you want an overly agressive clutch just to chirp 2nd, go ahead. You're the one that has to drive it everyday.

well i know that the 6-puck will be a little harsh. but i just want to make sure that every bit of power that my n/a makes gets to the ground......................it's not the most powerful thing(I wish I could of got ahold of a tII)

it's still overkill and will probably be unecessarily harsh on your drivetrain components.



you don't need it, a new full face performance clutch (with damper springs !) with a performance pressure plate that has good clamping force is all you need... also make sure the flywheel gets machined or you replace it when you do the job.

that for instance would be fine.



this pressure plate has not given me any problems yet either:

I have some pics of that clutch disc, pressure plate, and the aluminum flywheel here:

With porting and full exhaust an upgraded street/strip clutch would be best honestly. If you haven't driven a puck clutch, then don't jump to one on a street car...you will rearend somebody. They really do get all the power to the ground, but takes a lot of getting used to and is more then just a little harsh.



I'm not trying to bust on you in the least...but I've driven numerous different race cars that use puck clutches, and it is crazy on the street...also, you shouldn't need to double clutch to hit 2nd..just shift at 6K and pop the clutch out..works everytime. What kind of porting do you have done? Perhaps your torque curve is pushed up higher, or moved lower...you need to find the sweet spot..every car has it...

Please explain.

my fd can chirp 1-2-3-4 gears.................................. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

It has to. 4 second gear changes n' all. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/tongue.png

Well while clamping force is nice, that is overkill. And if you like your drivetrain you wont ever try to chirp into second.



Instead slip the clutch as fast as you can without making the tires bark.
