ok have a question for you guys. what gear do you do burnout in?? I use second. I was told to start in third and shift it to fourth but my box isn't clutch less or even face plated. So I just use second and call it good.
Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston

I was using 2nd also for so long because i grenaded so many 3rd gears in the tko600 boxes, i became paranoid about that gear. Its amazing i didnt just race using 1-2-4. Then i put in a jerico and now do burnouts in 3rd and shift gears not even worrying about it.

What gear ratio is in the trans you keep breaking is it a 2:65 or a 2:44 I've broken the 2.65, 2.44 and a 3.09 boxes. All this crap about flex and not power shifting third is just that. Crap. If you are breaking the gearbox your clutch is doing it. Most guys can run LESS than a 1000 pounds of static and tune with some counter weight and never break 3rd gear. Yep, the clutch is the problem. I always like the RPM's to go up when I power shift instead of dropping. Really helps lower you ET . And also, the smell of the burning clutch disc is such a wonderful aroma. And for you guy's that are going to have a hole cut in your scatter shield, don't forget to do the floor also as that's how you get at the pressure plate at the top of the transmission.
it's ok to butt heads, just don't do it with a butthead

Pic of the Tim Hyatt McLeod Softlok and a Pic of the Ram and Bell in my A833 car. Sorry, I did not take a pic of the Ram clutch, but they look and adjust the same, just a different color and size.
BTW, I am not an expert at this, and I am learning as I go...

So, if I use the slipping clutch, I can use a 23 spline behind my Hemi? Why do you think that Ma Chrysler put an 18 spline behind a 440 or a Hemi back in the day? The 23 spline has a lower HP and torque rating than an 18 spline by over 100+hp/torque..... Just look at the difference in the gears between the two.

the base pressure is set by, turning the adjusting screws in the pressure plate with allen wrench.we have a hole cut in back of bellhousing for this . we use a long allen wrench to reach in and adjust clutch. you can turn it 1/4 , 1/2 3/4 or full turn to raise or lower pressure. no shims are required. we use a speedhandle, rotate to hands on a clock, 3 clock, 6 clock 9 clock or 12 clock, very easy and simple!!! on the mopar trans, the upper right side bolt hole lines up to adjuster. you do have to index the balancer to find the spot. on jerico, had to drill a hole, 1" in back of housing. it's not complicated. BTW, you use a aluminum flywheel, it disapates heat out if the clutch.
