Duke, why isn't you clutch holding up? Are there some problems with the clutch or is the toque just to much? The S2 stage 4 holds 550Nm, whereas the 951 stage 4 can handle 698Nm. Why not just change to a 951 clutch, and machine a 60-2 trigger wheel on it?
BTW: Car looks great as always. Bring it over to Norway next year, you car would be very quick at our tracks. Your car at the Nurburgring would be insanely fun. If you are ever going there I want a ride!!

Thanks guys! 
Regarding the clutch - short term I didn't want to do anything custom as that risks taking too much time between race events. Long term I don't like to go backwards so a superlight FW with motorsport clutch it is
Regarding the trigger - I've run several different setups at the front of the crank and the only good solution there is the Clewett. The other variants are crap. Stock like setup at the rear is superior in every way.
The BMW runs a RB26 engine with 680 rwhp, Porsche 6&4 piston calipers, BMW E39 rear suspension etc. Everything is custom It was his first shakedown in a long time so even with his power advantage he was close to 5 sec behind. But I'm sure it will evolve to something very quick.

Flywheel stores energy, not creating it and the energy stored must come from somewhere. Perhaps engine would be my 1st guess?
Only situation where heavier flywheel is good thing is when you start moving with the car in gear, stored energy from idle speed help the engine to maintain its rotation from inertia.
If someone explains with facts how heavier flywheel is useful during acceleration and/or throttle response on any car (be it forced induction or NA), I would be grateful.

I was at Rudskogen in May but had issues with noise half the day and then injector issues when I finally got to go out. Damn cool track, need to go back next season!
The car would never be allowed out on the Ring which is probably for the better as I would destroy myself and the car

Those are all fabricated points by the manufacturer.. When you get one from Frontrange Fabrication the S2 PP can handle 650NM.. Clutch is not really an issue as you can just pack it with whatever material you see fit!

[QUOTE=A.Wayne;10818412]Best is factory setup, it's all that we use , 968 flywheel and custom clutch works well. QUOTE]Who is 'we' ????
