Good luck 60 footing with 5 HD springs ... At most i would use is 3 HD springs or 3 brocks spacers .. With 5 HD springs it's going to be light switch , either on or off with no inbetween .. But what the hell do i know ..


That is what I was thinking. I have just the Brock's heavy springs in right now because I thought I would need to err on the safe side spraying a little shot of nitrous. But right now I am having a hell of a time sliding the clutch right. I have got better at it, best 1.409 60', but still think I could do better. I couldn't imaging what it would be with heavy springs and even the small spacers, (.180) let alone the thick ones (.280)

And just the lockup is not enough?? Put more weight on the arms.

You could put slightly heavier springs in with the lock up , add weight on the arms , or the longer arms.
Either of those will hold more hp and give you more control over the clutch.

It easy to forget that some people don't ride their race bikes.

I am pretty sure that I also mentioned that I was just looking at the most simple solution. The lock up will be fine if I put longer arms on it, and have buttons added to the pressure plate.

I will probably use 5 heavy springs, and the lock up, as I originally mentioned...

Anyway, I now know what the Real Street setup is...which is what I asked, right?

Not legal in real street but a small nos jet in the release valve in a hydraulic clutch slave makes for a real cheap smooth clutch hand LOL!!

I would be curious to see the 330' differrence in running stock springs vs. HD springs. I ran 5 HD springs and could not 60 ft the bike better than a 1.370 and averaged 1.39-1.40. I understand why 60 footing with 5 HD springs is difficult but do you think it makes the bike 330 and 1/8th better? If you 60ft the hell out of the bike but the springs are allowing the clutch to slip a little to much I imagine it would hurt the 330'.
