Yeah - life has kept me busy for the last several weeks and I haven't been around that much. Things are starting to lighten up a bit now thankfully.

"Life"? What is this word you speak of? Is that the thing you have between work days? Haha

HRT what did you have to do to make it fit? Would a custom sinterd iron double disk with a 3850# or a 4000# clamp force be equal to a triple or no? I'm roughly at 900 hp now and will be doing more work over the winter.... looking for close to 1100-1200 total

if you are truly that high in hp, and haven't done so already, you will need to upgrade some internals on that zf.

What should be upgraded internally? We had it all apart and rebuilt it all over the winter...

Well for any who care or decide to go this route with a valair triple disk clutch, the issue was the left side throw out fork was grinding on the finger adj.. so we adj the fingers and marked on the arm where it was hitting, cut it out, recessed it about 1/4" and welded it up.. worked fine now, no rubbing issues.. haven't pulled with it yet so can't say about longevity yet..

Nice! Pictures would have been great! Next time you pull it down, make sure to do this.

Here's some pics my buddy took, notice the scuff marks on the orginal arm. Then you can see where we cut and we're able to recesse a small piece for. Clearances.. still almost 1/2" behind it inside bell housing so no worries there.. hope this may help someone..
