Back In Black Pulling Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Nice pull Albert, what are you running for a clutch to hold that torque Im gonna have to do something soon and apparently the Lipe that Ray has isnt up to the task of a big HP E9. Oh and I think its gonna be awesome when you get it back on the dyno you have to make sure you get the video of the next pull.That was 6000lbs lipe , old style. run that clutch for about 4 or 5 years with out issue.But it is not enough for the worked Pump i got know, waiting on new 4 disc slipper.

philgaudet82 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Where can we get us a slipper clutch? Would it be good for drag racing?Envoyé de mon iPhone à l'aide de Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35210-the-rws-back-from-the-spa/page/3/#findComment-240058 Share on other sites More sharing options...
philgaudet82 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Now we run a 6400 lbs lipe but it's always on the edge of slippingEnvoyé de mon iPhone à l'aide de Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35210-the-rws-back-from-the-spa/page/3/#findComment-240059 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutus998 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 phil Antrim can get you hooked up with a Crower clutch. I know they use two types of clutches one is what the big rigs(Killer, Buckeye Bulldog,etc) use I believe it is called a slipper clutch, this clutch wouldnt be practical if you drive it a lot on road, the other type is a springer clutch with is more practical for road use and is much much better built than the modern day Lipe Clutches.We have one of the old style Lipes that is specially modified. It is a very good clutch it has held well we had 9 pulls last season and turn 4,000+ rpms down the track. But once this one goes I am going with a Crower Springer clutch.

philgaudet82 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 Thanks! We don't drive at all on the road but we do drag racing and loaded pulls with a trailer on the asphaltEnvoyé de mon iPhone à l'aide de Tapatalk Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35210-the-rws-back-from-the-spa/page/3/#findComment-240082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
brutus998 Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 The spinger clutch may still be the way to go because you guys shift when drag racing. Not sure how how good the slipper would be grabbing gears... I am guessing you guys use the clutch when you shift dragging Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/35210-the-rws-back-from-the-spa/page/3/#findComment-240087 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted March 31, 2014 Share Posted March 31, 2014 If that "slipper" clutch is the same as the slipper clutch I run in my drag car, I would suppose you could use the clutch to shift(I do). Granted I am not putting 6000# of torque through mine, but it is only a 10.5" single disc rated at about 1000 HP(not sure torque rating).If you want some second opinion, call Tim Hyatt Racing services 440-417-0230. He deals in all kinds of clutches(drag, pulling, etc). Not sure if he has ever done something this big? Super nice guy, been in the business for 25+ yrs. He travels to all the NHRA races with his mobile work trailer. Tell'm Battlestar send you. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Back In Black Pulling Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 The other guys i run with already have same clutch as i'm getting, they tell me that they can hardly hold it in when they start turning high rpm,s .So i don't really know how it would work Drag Racing, but i will let you know in a couple weeks .

1958 F.W.D. Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Interesting. I didn't even know Lipe was still in business- I have a Lipe clutch in the FWD, but shouldn't have any issues with it for a LONG time as it just barely broken in from being rebuilt in 2009- and if I do 500 miles in a year that's a lot!!!!! A guy in a clutch shop in Baltimore rebuilt it for me.
