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. [/QUOTE]


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

And what does 1200kg of clamping force really mean?[/QUOTE]

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.
