Hey gang. I recently upgraded my blower to a KB 2.2 from my ported Eaton , also i had my Tremec T56 overhauled and 26 spline installed while i had it out which means i also picked up a new 26 spline clutch disk and while i had it apart i also grabbed a new flywheel and stock OEM clutch cable. After getting it all together and going to get it retuned the clutch was slipping on the dyno so we had to ease into it to keep from slipping . On top of that since the tune it slips here and there while getting on it hard sometimes as well, not all the time but here and there. It’s a RAM pressure plate that isn’t that old but everything else is new . I picked up on the self adjusting clutch pedal ( OEM quadrant) to have it self adjust and everything.
Now, my tuner said he feels it should have more power with the KB 2.2 with a 3” pulley ( stock lower) and around 14-15 lbs boost. It put down 502 hp on a dyno jet, 19 degrees timing with a safe street tune. He’s tuned literally hundreds of these cars and many others being he’s a professional drag racer and builds cars from ground up so i know he knows what he’s talking about.
So all of this being said that leads me to my questions for you guys. Do you think my car should’ve made better power? Could my clutch have something to do with that? There is zero free play in my clutch pedal but like i said it adjusted as far as it could go.
Also , there is a big “ring” that my flywheel bolts go through on the flywheel and now I’m thinking that maybe i should put that ring behind the flywheel instead sandwiched between the crank and flywheel instead of on the face side to maybe space the wheel back a bit . It seems like my clutch is just on the edge of biting and slipping if you know what i mean. My tuner thinks that my clutch is plenty strong enough and before i go dropping another $1,000 on a twin disk i should try and maybe get a firewall adjuster first.
I hope i explained it all well enough to get the big picture across. Any thoughts ????
