    clutch

    I don't want to sound like a a$$hole, but call crower, they will get you close, but you will want to get more info, gear ratios, type of car, (doorcar?)

    Hope it goes well

    I would probably start with 4 turns of base. As far as the counterweight is concerned, this is what I always do. If the driver has little or no experience, then I put a medium length bolt and nut on the fingers. This way you won't rattle his brains out on his first pass. Each car is different. I'm working on my first Pro Mod car with a new driver and had no idea where the clutch should be. So I started out conservative. I had the base figured out in 3 runs. First 3 turns, then 4 and 4 1/2 after that. At 4 1/2 turns it rattled the tires, so back to 4 turns. I'm still working on the counterweight. Good luck.
