[RICK LAKE]

ERA 2076. Cliff If you want to talk about why I didn't do some things to my car and changed others, be more than happy. 732-254-3536 after 8:00 pm est time. Too much to type and I don't need the flack about what and what is not to be done to SFI speed parts. One side note, I have seen a blown clutch come out of a lakewood bellhousing at the track. If you are not racing and run a light flywheel and clutch assembly, trimming is OK, just not chancing this with my feet.

Royce C I was looking at the picture of your bellhousing. I know you have been racing for a long time. That bell looks like a titanium unit we used on the funny car back in the 70's. Is the picture poor, it looks like dents in it. You would know better than 98% of the prople here that blow clutches always seam to find a weak spot in a bellhousing setup. Most guys here are running 18-28 pound flywheels. What about the guys running 40 pounder on FE motors and the flywheels are not SFI rated. I know lakewood bells can and will handle this failure. Modify them and parts come out the bottom. Running over them sucks. I started with a 40pound flywheel and max 6,500 rpms. I run the same bellhousing with a 18 pound flywheel now and twin disc. I may switch to quick time on next motor. Rick L.
