ok its been a great year for me at the track . One of the things I have been running and testing is Calvins Timeloc. Dirt and Asphalt. just a few more times out at the tracks and I think we will have everything lined out it is working nicely and does what I thought it would.. the one thing I really like is that it has no static pressure on the arms thus less dynamic change to the actual application of the lockup itself, in other words , if you do the math and end up with a calculated weight on you arms at a certain rpm this is not affected by springs or added resistance to the arms, in the end when the arms reach the pressure plate the pressure is unaffected , I am testing a 6 lug banshee design right now on the pavement, I will keep everyone posted on this

Since Tim has "let the cat out of the bag" about running the Time Loc system, I will try to let out some of the things we have learned. I feel one of the main things that has come to light is that very few people are studying "why" their clutch works well or doesn't work well. I have included a layout print showing a couple of numbers that we originally set the clutch up for, maybe Tim can elaborate on where he ended up on these dimensions.
One of the first things that must be done is to establish the "stack height" which gives you the "arm clearance" measurement that you need to maintain. The following print shows where we designed the arm clearance to be approximately .115 to .120 of an inch, (2.92mm to 3.05mm). On the attached print we call out for a total stack height of 1.950.

So I just read through all of this and I find it very interesting. Question is, is this something the average Joe would/could benefit from? Or, is it more in line for the hardcore racers/competers? I guess it would come down to $$ for the average Joe.

do you have a diagram that looks like the schematic above that gives directoins on tunig the clutch in ...i'm wanting to try one of these clutches..
