If the 84 brings the se spring down to 300ish lbs, you will likely have slip till the weights kick in.

 

You may be on to something. I need to do a little more digging I guess. Maybe the VP95LT without the SE Spring would be a better option. As was said earlier I could always go back up in spring weight should I need to.

 

The springs are much cheaper to change out than vpc's, lol

 

Lol you've gotta valid point.

 

What's the deal with the VP clutches being hard to pull in at higher RPM's? I've heard and read this about them; at what RPM would the lever be harder to pull in ?

 

I've found that they start to get a little stiffer around 36- 4000 rpm but you'll get used to it as you're only pulling the clutch lever in for a split second while shifting. It's not like it's going to take two hands to operate.

 

yeah, the centrifugal forces make it a stiffer pull at higher rpm. but like oldenuf says, you're only pulling the clutch in and releasing it, so it isn't like you're trying to ride the friction zone.

that's where you need your easy pull at. if it's a little stiffer at higher rpm, who cares? even with my arthritis, it wasn't bad.

 

The extra force being applied to the pressure plate by the weights starts to take effect about 3500rpm, you have to over come that when you pull the clutch lever in. There are NO free lunches. If you build a motor you gotta up the clutch to handle it. The vpc is one way of doing that and not having a stiff lever in traffic and still holding the extra power being applied. I don't notice it being stiffer at 6000+rpms but there is alot goin on when I'm doin that, LOL.

 

Appreciate the clutch comments and insights - I am thinking about using a VP clutch when I do a 110 project.

 

Decided to do it right and do it once. Ordered the VP95LT to cover all bases. Thanks for the help.
Does anyone know for sure if the ***** G cover will work without the spacer? I know I've gotta customize the gasket to work but unsure about the cover.
