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 |

Learn to drive it correctly and you will be fine. If you get the proper equipment you will have no slippage as Andy is saying...this car runs a 7.25" triple and is rated for 1,200 horsepower.
