But I cant imagine it would be a particularily good drag clutch. They have to heat up before they bite hard. So probs no good for drag unless you intentionally give it warm up slips in staging etc.
Exactly, more of a circuit type clutch than drags. You have to literally warm it up before attempting to launch and it's such a crap feeling. It never felt that it could cope with the power until you warm it up properly. On the other hand when the competition clutch went in overall power delivery was insane all tho it never got launched with but I'm sure Daz will put it to the test
