Default Stop screwing around

Lightingrod Al There are 10 ways to skin a cat. If you want to run a Monza bell that get a balistic blanket to warp around it.
If you are running a 500/500 motor WITHOUT NOS this is possible. You hit that little button and it's bang,bang time for the drive train. Clutch wise this setup is going to need a heavy single disc setup with a solid disc. A spring hub is not going to last long under this abuse. Quicktime or Lakewood period. If you don't like walking on your own two feet than go for what ever. With Quicktime get the spec one that is NHRA approved, tested, and certified. Should be stamped with a silver and black sticker on the bell.
Put the hydro clutch setup in it with a7/8" master and 3/4" slave and be done with it.
As for clutch a 2 or 3 disc is the way to go. If you are going to abuse and high rev this motor a triple disc would be better than a double disc. Same clamping load, less weight to turn, same setup needed. Rick L.
Ps look for the pictures of Kirkhams custom bellhousing and the setup for the fork on a Lakewood. It's simple welding a plate for a mount point. I have nothing but Lakewoods on all my shifter cars and only have blown 1 disc. everything stayed inside the bell. No damage to engine block either. This was with a 40# flywheel. No 100% sure you Quicktime will take the same explosion. lakewood test with a 40# flywheel blowing up. No sure if Quicktime has the same weight tested. Quick time has closer specs to the clutch and this stops that running start of pieces trying to get out of the bell. Would have to ask QT what weight flywheel is used in their test. later
