Default Re: More Chevelle updates

Jeff;

I spoke to Ram last week. When I explained the situation, the guy was like "Yeah, with your power & weight, you're past the limits of that clutch." Would've been nice if the tech that I spoke to the last time I went through this would've told me that instead of recommending this Powergrip HD.

Paul;

This clutch is "rated" at 650 HP--I'm just over 600 at the moment. Obviously you can't just go by HP rating, vehicle weight has to be taken into consideration as well...as my situation clearly demonstrates.

Ryan;

Yup. Big-time.

Steve;

No such thing as too much HP, just not enough aft of said HP at the moment. (FWIW, building HP is the relatively easy/affordable part--it's everything you have to put <span style="font-style: italic">behind</span> all that HP that bleeds you out of $$$)

Tony;

I'll be making some calls tomorrow. I was hoping to get the car back together to try to get back to the track this Thursday, but that's looking pretty iffy at the moment...and we're rapidly closing in on the end of the season. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]
