6 puck on the street?

TopgunZ

I am going with twins and have been interested in the JWT kit as this is what I had on my 350 and it held my 400rwtq just fine. I loved the feel of it.

However, I have read contradicting points that it will and it wont handle the power levels im looking for on the 370 which is 500rwtq.

Does anyone have this or know someone pushing the heavy duty JWT setup?

I have the same setup, and I completely agree. The clutch is indeed grabbier, but it's nothing like the crazy clutches I've driven in other cars. It's honestly not bad and you get used to it.

I've always believed when it came to drivetrain components, you should shoot for over your targets, rather than under. I looked at the JWT setup for my TT build that's upcoming, but I was recommended by Joe@ZSpeed to go Southbend because of the torque holding capacity.

What did you find out as far as torque numbers for the 370 JWT?

And what does 1200kg of clamping force really mean?

I recommend giving Joe at Zspeed a call. He's very knowledgable and helped me with some info I needed yesterday for my estimated power numbers. Which was, 6 puck ceramic sprung ACT or Southbend clutch, 2500? lb pressure plate(stock was 900lbs less clamping force) southbend single mass flywheel, and of course HD CSC and new master cylinder. He knows his stuff.

Clamping force means how hard the pressure plate squeezes the clutch disc against the flywheel. Moar force, moar power, depending on clutch style and material.

Edit: I should be around 500whp and 380wtq also.

This.

I am running the SS kit with 14lbs flywheel, but na, great clutch but Joe knows his stuff.

My research cropped up lots of numbers, low as 350wtq or as high as 500wtq. But, I also considered another aspect of that rating which is very crucial - performance under duress. I glazed my previous clutch over due to me drifting the car and performing hard clutch kicks, as well as drag strip launches and power shifting the car. Even though I only made 305whp and 270 or whatever tq, the clutch couldn't handle the duress I put it under.

Hence why I went with the strongest, most driveable 6-puck offered by Southbend without costing a stupid amount of money like the twin-disc lineups or anything. Even though I do see the reason for the twin-disc setups and it's performance, my personal budget and requirements made me concur with Joe and I went with the Southbend setup.
