If your running a roots blower a crower GLIDE will save you a lot of money on parts, cuz you don`t have to wind the shit out of the motor on the starting line, if you run a screw blower then you have to run a peddal clutch because the screw don`t make any boost untill around 5.000 rpm

I will be running a roots blower. (14-71, hi helix)

 

Kyle,

A Crower GLIDE is a good idea IF all your ever going to do is match race, but if your serious about running IHRA then you'll need to spend more $$ and change to a peddle clutch to be competive and hope you call sell the crower GLIDE.

Picking between a Crower or a Boninafante is like picking between a blone or a red head, it's a matter of taste. The one thing I like, Boninafante, has thier truck at all the IHRA races, and Terry Underwood is a great person to work with, of course they will service anyone clutches.

 

I planned on buying a pedal clutch just for the sake if I became use to the glide I did not want to relearn the pedal. I should have said that earlier my apoligize. but it is good to know if match racing glide is the ticket.

if i may add my 2 cents......i would definately go with the boninfante clutch. the only basic difference in the 2 is the location of the clutch arms in the hat. nick has a better mouse trap in my opinion. the arms on his clutch are positioned more toward the center, which makes for a more repeatable clutch. by moving the arms more toward the center you will get less warping as well. and it is a must to have the titanium cover. it's a little more expensive, but well worth the money. call nick and talk to him, he has helped me alot and is a great guy to talk to. hope this helps.

 

Hey guys,
Have you considered actually measuring your plate load? Both Boninfante and Jeff Bohr have Dyno's to document the plate load. Then you could compare plate load numbers instead of counterweight numbers. Just a thought..........

Ive had a little experience with the Nick clutch, (fron the old shim type to the "New" adjustable stands at the risk of me sounding old).
Ill put in my vote for the Crower
