the pressure is minimal at first and as the revs increase the weight forces increased pressure on the disk

Here's ours, it's definitely not your conventional style slipper clutch, but we think it will work well. The idea behind it being carbon is it not wearing so much and not having to be adjusted every pass.

A custom bellhousing. The bellhousing has a little "Inspection" plate that can be bolted on and off for checking/adjusting air gap, weights, etc

I talked to someone recently about the Ram slipper clutch, they ran it at the track yesterday and it would not let him shift gears at all down the track, he had to let it idle back down to actually shift. This was a high whp all motor car, they bled the clutch numrous times with no luck. They felt the clutch was not designed right, but could've been just one bad clutch.

I think people are forgetting that these types of clutches which increase the force are ideal only for guys running trannys which you do not need to depress the clutch to shift between every gear. (i.e. true dog engagement trannys and such) Your non conventional stock tranny. Wow I guess that is why Leevon and Rado are using them haha. Just something for you other guys to think about when you read this post. I think that might explain why the guy who put one in his all motor car could not get it into gear Clutches such as those can be made at a fraction of that cost that was posted earlier. This post was a little misleading but I hope that this should clear some things up If you have any questions feel free to hit me up.
