turboboy - October 19th, 2011 at 05:37 PM

Howdy
I'm after a new clutch for my turbo buggy.
Has anyone had any experience with ether the Copper head or
Black diamond clutch plates.
Also what pressure plate have you run.
I'm thinking stage 2 -2100 lbs
For street and strip use

Cheers
Richard

Do you mean black magic? They're sintered iron so more race only, but anything's possible.

Any pics of the buggy?
