Came across this on Magnus's site and was wondering if anyone runs them, and what are everyones thoughts on them?

Looks like it could help make launches more consistent by aiding in preloading the clutch to the exact point you want.

P.s. I did a search but came up with very little on this product.

 

good old pre-loading does it for me, 568 with stock axels havent broken one yet

 

I've seen them listed before. Always wondered about them. Interesting idea.

 

I think it would help, and would be easier on the clutch also. No one has any input on these?
Lets get a discusion started, pros, cons, diy solutions that you personally use, etc.

Pros:

consistent preloading on launch
easier on clutch
with proper setup preloading saves the driveline

Cons:

could be tricky to get setup
pricey for what it actually is

DIY ideas:

Looks like a line lock with some sort of adjustable bleed off valve.

 

No one has any input on these at all?

 

You could make that yourself for less than $100.

Plus, tilton has a flow restrictor that is only $75 (if I remember right) and that works pretty well.

 

$185 or so for the tilton flow control valve.

 

cons, if you use your clutch to shift you will have slow shifts due to the slow engagement

 

I made one from basically the same exact valve and line lock valve.. I had my AEM only slow the clutch release for the launch and then it works like a normal clutch after the launch.. It worked pretty well for the first few times I used it then I pulled the trans and bought a glide..
