I am still trying to figure out how to get the stock clutch on the stock Leeroy to work properly - and I think its a combination of factors.

I had terrible luck with the stock single disc clutch, it would slip with as low as 290rwhp. However I did drive a stroker GTS with near the same torque as my stroker that uses the DD clutch set up, and it held well. I should note,I had the dual disc clutch pressure plate strengthened by 928intl. (they had it done for me). the weight difference is not only the flywheel, timing ring, pressure plate, its all the above.
I have pictures of the set on the scale, and it was a solid 25lbs heavier AND a larger diameter, so its effect was even worse.

Adjustment on the int plate has been debated, but you do need to know what you are doing, to get it to work. too large or too small a gap on the H adjusters, will result in dragging pressure plate or flywheel surface. (too large a gap, drags on PP, too small, on flywheel). It is and can be, pretty critical. generally, without getting intoa flame war with Dave A, a .75 to 1mm gap will allow it to function well and not drag.

EDIT: By the way, the stock DD clutch pressure plate and system after enhanced, can handle the clamping force to hold on to the power of near 500rwhp. However, in a racing situation, plan on shreading some clutch discs if you are hard on your equipment. But, for street use or limited track, there probably would be very little of an issue.

And done. I'll figure it out a different way.
