    We actually don't use one. The graph on the data logger system should tell you everything you need to know.

    I use the Applied Physics software. It's been dead on every time.

    If anyone wants to talk to Mike Sullivan about his Applied Physics clutch software he will be at Houston this weekend at Erica Enders trailer or you can call him on his cell at 618.599.0856. His software is about $400 but well worth it. It will give your team a real good clutch program.

    Give me an idea how you're using it? The racepak gives you graphs of the engine ,clutch and drive shaft to compare. These should tell you how you are set-up or if your behind the track etc. Where would this fit in a program of an alcohol car?

    As the Density Altitude changes the amount of HP produced changes so do the clutch requirements to handle that change in horsepower in both the launch and total plate load change. Track surface changes require different base settings but still require the same total plate load settings. Changes in the base or static adjustment effects the total plate load so you have to compensate in finger adjustments. Most of the clutch software programmes already have your clutch make and type already modeled in them. The program allows you track and see visually what changes is base and finger weights are doing and how they effect each other. They show you are previously stored setting or the previous run graphed as RPM VS clutch plate load. You can change the setting of the base or the fingers and watch the graph as to where the clutch will lock up or what happened to the total plate load.

    The is very simplified but I hope it helps.
