Looks to be smooth at 137. I might just have to cut one out for my car.

Great vids Wally!

The car looks very stable at speed,nice set up! With that gear/tire/HP combo you can crack the 250Km/h.Armin ran 257 Km/h (digital speedo aswell) with my 90kg ass sitting along side.Rpm was approx. 6200 with a 225/50/15 tire 3.44 r+p and 0.82 4th.
boost was about 1.2 bar.Wastegate was set at 1.3 bar.

Wow !

Is that a 6 puc Kennedy unit ? Have you looked at a dual disc setup ? I believe there is an advantage to 4 friction surfaces vs two for your power level. I'm looking in to it as well.

Yep, that is, or better - was- a Kennedy 6-puck semi-metallic unit and a Sachs Race-engineering HD 228mm clutch (probably stage 2-ish).

They couldn't make me a organic twin-disk set-up (too thick), but instead I had to get the semi-metallic twin disk set-up with a G50 center. Hope it will still be driveble. Short of a stage 3, there are no options, so I went for that one.
I ordered it with a stage 1 pp. We'll see if we can get it round my shortenend G50 spline...

wally,
One friend use this clutch (made usa) in one drag beetle with 900+ HP.
He said it was very good. What do you think about this?



Not found exactly the same on the internet. But the link below have one sample.

Mark,

257 km/h is sort of crazy in a beetle on the highway/autobahn. I recalculated and that is 251 km/h, which is close enough. Crazy...how does his stay stable for that? He runs less aero then I do, but his car is also less wide, so maybe that helps some to gain the speed. Still, over 250 km/h is wow!
