1979 "Transmarrow" Mid-engine LQ9 build

[Sbeck09]

I do have a question for you guys. This engine will use a WRX clutch that works with the flywheel from the Subaru gears swap kit. I am trying to get some insight as to what I should look for in a clutch that is strong enough to hold around 550 crank hp and have an on/off type engagement vs having a large degree of slip.



I have never uprgraded from a stock clutch on any of my vehicles. So I am kind of lost in all the different varieties.

Outside of a pure track only car, I've avoided on/off type clutches like the plague. They are VERY tricky to drive smoothly. I just had to commit to a twin disc clutch today for my engine with about the same power level since my standard stage 1 clutch just won't last long. But I'll have an easy pedal with smooth engagement for street or track this way. The on/off clutches are typically very small in diameter attached to special lightweight flywheels to allow motorcycle-like throttle response. They don't last long with slipping either.

What's the end goal for this car as far as where it will be used?
