and it does look similar to the 350 plate.
I know RPS has not liked the 350 plate from day one and is why they did not use it for 350 upgrades.
If your using the 350Z plate, good luck with that.

I could see how higher pivot point reduces the amount

Clamp load is only applied to the disk itself, Not the crank

20:05:25 02/17/08
remember the pressure comes from compressing

Gotcha, makes sense now.

You would not want to use a 4000 LBS clamp load.....

19:07:54 02/17/08
And maybe RPS did not use it because of its cost.
