Has anyone played with the single disc cutch and stiffening the pressure plate?
doesnt Carl have the high clamping force single disc clutches too? I wonder if they are heavy like the stock S4 stuff.
to answer the question about why the twin disc. as was said, more clamping force, more surface area , and lighter weight. 25lbs lighter! Thats spinnning mass, so its like 1.5 to 2x that as if it was sitting in the car as far as acceleration gains.

I know, i lived it for a few days before i did the Holbert car conversion project. It wasnt a huge difference in "blip" feel, but certanly was a little easier to blip.
the clamping force was a biggie. even at the time, 290rwhp was slipping on hard up shifts.

I also noticed a huge difference going from a stock '86 to the S/C'ed GT with X-pipe. At first I thought the car had a problem because the revs dropped so slow in comparison.
