RideTech 33 Ford

[bret]

I was wrong about the 7th place finish on the road course...it was actually 12th. My stopwatch was apparently optimistic! The other finishing positions are still correct. I think I ended up around 17th in the design challenge segment.

On the Tilton clutch, remember this is the 5.5" diameter unit, not the 7.25". I've got one of the 7.25 units in my Mustang for several years now...works great! That's the one that will hold 1200 ft lbs of torque. I bought the 5.5 unit used off eBay from an ASA racer who was running a 500hp spec motor. Just wouldn't live a long life at 600hp.



I'd have to check the 1st gear ratio again...too many numbers in my head. The rear gear is a 3:48. I could have used more gear at Pahrump...only running about 5500 at the end of the backstretch.
