Any teams use carbon or kevlar clutches from Barnett. If so, any success.

given the power output, i really dont see the need or any advantages to go with a barnett clutch, the stock clutches are more than capable of handling it

What about the reduction in rotating mass?

How much do the barnett clutches weigh vs. stock?

With 1.5bar boost, we have hit the clutch limit, with the clutch just slipping on the dyne. Spring tension on clutch pack has already been increased significantly and oil mods have helped to keep it cool.

Any body tried to fit extra plates in the clutch assembly

I am curious. What engine do you have that will tolerate 1.5 bar boost, and what modifications (if any) have you done to it?

Yea, is that 1.5 bar absolute pressure?

I know they built a custom inline twin last year.

That is 1.5 gauge, 2.5 bar absolute. It is the prototype twin
