What's best for a predator?

[OK2NV]

If a track has an open clutch rule on predator engines which should we be using, drum or disc?

A disk clutch is better performance if setup properly, but needs to be properly setup and maintained. I always used a drum, because I felt like the cost of a disk clutch would make more speed if spent on tires.

Disc

We are currently running a disc clutch but had two people tell us last week that we could pick up lap time going to a drum clutch.

Now, Ken...you know the rules about mentioning politics on here. LOL

OP, disc clutch all the way and never look back. Just be sure it's set up for your class (same as a drum clutch needs set up properly.)

if the drum is set up correctly it will out preform a poorly set up disc clutch. if they are both set up to engage at the same rpm one will not pull away from the other. Drum is cheaper and far less maintenance. look to spend $130+ parts yearly if you're going to use a clutch guru to go through your disc.
