Advice on 5.5” Race clutch Options

[BlueRidge914]

I vintage race a 2.0L six single plug narrow body 914, and for years used a Patrick Motorsport “901” style flywheel and Centerforce 215mm clutch package. I would like to go to their 5.5” clutch and ultralight flywheel, and I understand all the advantages, but I don’t know if that’s offset by lurching around the paddock and in and out of my trailer, and shorter clutch life. Will I forget about that on the track?
Thanks for the advice,
Gavin

They are hard to get rolling
The clutch is an on-off switch.
So it’s typical to kill the motor when you try to get rolling

But Once it’s on track you will never notice that.
No lurching
No problems

I’m also a 2.0/6 with a narrow bodied car

I've driven a 7.25" clutch. The small clutch + super light flywheel takes a little getting used to, but for a race car it's not that big a deal.

And yes, once you get out of the paddock you won't notice it aside from the faster revving and easy shifting.
