Awesome. Talked to Ron today. Going to be furnishing him with the info on my car tomorrow and sending him a pile of $100 bills. Ok. Just 14 of em. Hope to have the clutch in a week. Also going to upgrade the cable and the pedal.

Do you have a flange crank , wedgemated ? If it is flanged it comes with new flywheel , I had to send in my wedgemated unit to be fitted . Mike

Not to highjack, but does anyone have experience with the ace copperhead disc? Or the gene berg super street?

I'm running the same stage 2 with daikin HD disc with my Subaru motor, and the upcoming tune is going to raise the power quite a bit. The daikin clutch is nice until it's glazed a bit, then it's not happy at all (sanding fixes it easily, but who wants to pull a motor every couple weeks when you screw around too much).

I'm debating going with a puck style and back to a stage 1pp, or whatever else is recommended...?

Again, sorry to highjack but I'm pretty much in the same situation (though I'll be around 50% street 50% race)

I just did a quick search on 6-puck vs. 4-puck. As I said before I use on the sand but, again, the 4-puck is not advised for the street. The 6-puck is not quite as aggressive when engaging as the 4-puck but it was also felt that you needed a stronger PP/clutch cover with the 6-puck disc. It was also felt that the 6-puck clutch disc wore out faster than a more traditional solid face disc would.

For what it is worth.

I've never used the Ace Copperhead but it looks a lot like a Black Magic which is a very heavy disc. I did not like the Black Magic at all. Kills syncros and lots of missed 1-2 shifts.
I have a Kennedy 6 puck in it now but we don't think it will hold as well as a 4 puck. Haven't had any good hits on it yet. The best combo we have found for me so far has been a stage 1 and Kennedy 4 puck. I would also make sure it's a genuine Kennedy disc, I tried both Scat and Empi 4 pucks and both wouldn't hold. Put a Kennedy in and boom, instant hold.

i dont even have a crank. i have an eccentric shaft, lol its a rotary swap.

i am going to be using the earlier style rev 6 that attaches a friction surface to the flywheel

LOL , for those who have not seen the clutch package we are talking about here is what it looks like.

It is a slipper clutch with centrifical weights to help it lock upmade by Ron Lummis Racing . My original flywheel was wedgemated so Ron cut the center out and mated my hub to this flywheel.It has the insert you were talking about. Mike
