Thread: A log of my updates on my '32 Brookville highboy

Wow, that is just plain nasty. I now feel like a goof telling you to beware of the power of your new 427 in the '32 on a forced downshift. You are already dialed into the 3 lbs per hp realm, nothing I can teach you, more like you offering me some advice. Nice thing about turbos is due to their linear power production, driveline components that can live with 500 hp from a positive displacement blower engine, have an easier life behind a 700 hp turbo engine.

The Toyota clutch reference was only for how light pedal pressure is on my V, not the maker of the clutch. It always amazes me when you increase clutch surface area by going to a 2 or 3 disc set up, to be able to hook up 600~750 hp, you don't increase pedal pressure to hold those ponies. In the old days of high hp, you would have some rather strong left leg muscles depressing a pressure plate on a single disc clutch that could hold. How times have changed.
