My buggy will be on the street 80% of the time im going to run a ecotec. I was going to order a Kep. stage 2 with a 6 puck but Kennedy told me they would not run that on the street at all (acted like it would rip my head) they said i should run some HD stock type. what are some of you guys running on the street.

thanks

A stage 2 and a cush lock disc shouldnt be to bad.

stage 2 with a 6 puck is what i would run,i think a stage 2 with a stock clutch or cushlock would slip,ive ran both with a vw motor and cushlock would slip in higher gears,with that ecotech u gonna need some good stuff,i run a 6 puck brass clutch and they are perfect,,nothing like a 4 puck

I have had my best luck with 6 pucks. but that is all woods. I liked my stage 2 when I ran it too.

buddy has ecotec in light buggy he runs in woods 99%. he has stage 2 pressure plate and a cushlock. for the most part it works great. would think is fine on street unless your trying to set new wheelie record

what does it feel like on some blacktop or have you had it on some.

I had a stage 1 with a cushlock with a 1915 on the street it was ok but did lockup fast and hard would it be about the same or harder??

I would like it to stand up nice but not from every LIGHT at the same time I would like my neck to not hurt after every ride also

it feels jus like a stock clutch,it dont shake like a 4 puck,i think u will like it,u wont have to buy another clutch for a long time

Outfront Motorsports told me it was pretty much a toss up. 6 puck will never slip but is like a light switch on pavement. You have to get used to EXACTLY where your clutch engages or you'll stall on street a lot. They told me stock style would work great (for a while) but hard starts and hill climbs would kill it eventually with that much power. Damned if you do... Damned if you don't... I bought both. I am gonna try the 6 puck. If I can't get use to street driving it, then I will switch down to stock and see how long they really do last.

I think you will like the 6 p,,,do you have cable pedal or hydraulic? mine is cable

I ran a 6 puck for a while with a stage 4. It seemed to grab great. Just a little chattery on an easy launch, nowhere near as bad as a 4 puck, but dont think I'da liked it on the street. Worst thing about it to me was in a tight spot had to slip clutch repeatedly and it smoked it a little and was never the same. Once a stock disc cools (as long as you dont flat out roast it) it will grab again like normal. I liked kushlok better, switched it back. A sprung center stock or kushlok disc shouldnt give u any chatter at all and will be very smooth, and with a stout pressure plate it should hold the 170(??) or so hp of the ecotec. If you run hydropedals, use the smallest m/c you can find (prolly 5/8) and the stage 4 is not hard to push. Bad thing about a stage 4 on a vw is its hard on your thrust, but dont think you have to worry about that with a w/c engine. JMO

i agree street is alot different than the woods you need a little slip. and i run a 2276 with a stage 2 cush lock and i like it and it dont slip. not saying they wont cause i smoked a cush lock before

get a sprung hub 6 puck with the stage 2 and youll be fine

I ran a stage 2 & 6puck for about 100 mile on back road 1 day & was fine . But you my like a stage 3 & cush lock .

I have a hydraulic pedal and im really thinking about the 6 puck but will the will it be harder on my trans and cv's then the cush lock would.

Thats what kennedy recomended for me also so i went with it. Its been fine for me so far. 3 trips to wellsville,1 trip to wheelers some play time at a friends,drunken flat tracking at a holloween party and a thousand or so street miles last summer. I'm happy with it so far.
