Message	That's the main reason we went thru all the trouble to make it work with the Z. It provides a higher clamping force with less pressure to release it. So it takes the load off the crank and hydraulics. We do offer a better friction material to hold more power for the same clamp force, Its called Feramic... heard of it? ;)

(Specialty-Z) 19:15:36 02/17/08 I don't know about that. The pivot point or fulcrum - AZHeat 19:54:13 02/17/08 Your looking at it wrong I think....... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 20:05:25 02/17/08 remember the pressure comes from compressing - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 20:24:21 02/17/08 Gotcha, makes sense now. - AZHeat 20:30:28 02/17/08 You would not want to use a 4000 LBS clamp load..... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:24:14 02/17/08 No doubt there. - Spddracer 18:36:36 02/17/08 Who is "we"?Do you work for SouthBend or help in the design? (n/m) - Kyle(Houston) 20:02:29 02/17/08 Not sure what your getting at. - Spddracer 21:35:37 02/17/08 thanks for clearing it up - ArubaDave 12:33:36 02/18/08 RPS has been using that pressure plate in the Carbon Carbon - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:18:14 02/17/08 Mitsubishi what? (n/m) - Spddracer 18:19:35 02/17/08 I would have to ask RPS. I do remember him telling me it was - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:41:45 02/17/08 Doesn't look the same. Did they change later? - DVDBURN (MD) 18:38:36 02/17/08 That is a generic picture of the Carbon..... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:43:08 02/17/08 Ah... - DVDBURN (MD) 18:46:12 02/17/08 Our plate is not a Mitsu pressure plate. (n/m) - Spddracer 18:43:21 02/17/08 Sure looks just like the plate RPS uses in the Z Carbon (n/m) - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:45:54 02/17/08 Could be, No idea what RPS uses in that kit. - Spddracer 18:51:43 02/17/08 I hope not! - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:53:59 02/17/08 I thought you just said you used this same plate - Spddracer 19:03:23 02/17/08 Southbend plate does look like the Carbon plate... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 19:07:54 02/17/08 And maybe RPS did not use it because of its cost. - Spddracer 19:27:21 02/17/08 wrong...... - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 19:40:38 02/17/08 Is the Carbon carbon a push release or pull release type? (n/m) - AZHeat 18:42:16 02/17/08 Push (n/m) - Greg D. (Specialty-Z) 18:44:01 02/17/08 dxd-fx ftw!

(n/m) - Spddracer 21:37:10 02/17/08 I am anal about clutches, but this my friend is amazing - zboost(NoVA) 21:55:51 02/17/08 Can you elaborate on the CC clutch and its driveability - Kong ZTT GT28RS MD 01:19:59 02/18/08 even after a year of daily driving it.... - zboost(NoVA) 04:48:17 02/18/08 as soon as i get my economic stimulus check from the fed, - slayer fan 21:48:06 02/17/08 i need a feramix 2 (n/m) - ZiNnYc 23:04:50 02/17/08
