<\/a><\/p>\nOn the clutch side of things we’ve lowered pricing on the more mass market style of clutches.\u00a0 The better part of it is that we’ve added two new models to the line up.<\/p>\n
The pressure plates in our high clamp load line have some changes that really have improved them (High 5, Max Series).\u00a0 The casting for the pressure plates are half aluminum and half steel. We need the steel for the clutch material to go against for durability.\u00a0 The aluminum has allowed us to make the pivot point release amazingly better than has ever been possible.\u00a0\u00a0 In the past modifying a normal casting was the norm.
\nUtilizing this new hybrid we have much better release, lightweight, and lighter pedal pressure with the same clamp load of the old RPS Max line.<\/p>\n
The new SZ discs………
\nOur new high power single disc set up we are calling the “SZ HIGH 5” This clutch will use our new pressure plate and has a aluminum 5 puck disc that is half the weight of the standard 6 puck disc and this allows butter shifting and is MUCH easier on the transmission. This set up will hold up to 800 HP (real-world testing)\u00a0 and allow shifting at much higher RPM’s.\u00a0 Getting into the lightweight benefits reveals much improved high RPM shift-ability.\u00a0 There is less friction & drag to slow the input shaft down quicker to allow the synchros to mesh up better.\u00a0 There is also less parts to break like the springs on the sprung hub discs.\u00a0 The only down side encountered is low RPM load or lugging that creates noise transfer of the drive-train.\u00a0 Engagement is surprisingly easy and daily driver street-able.<\/p>\n
