It depends on the distance, shirt distance the Torque Converter is king. Long distance the race clutch.

I have used both types of clutches what i wanted to know what other people had to say.

It’s more for long distance races. My friend has a small go kart with 11hp Honda on it and I have a hf clone with mods. Were supposed to race this weekend and I just wanted to know what clutch would better fit this race. My friends engine is stock as well so in a long distance race I should smoke him.

Long distance the clutch works best

Charles, for a fat guy on an 1/8th mile bike, would you think the converter would be better than a clutch?

Very nicely said, experience is wonderful, but we all have to start somewhere, I can sense the annoyance of the senior posters' when some one brings up a topic that has been discussed before, what's the big deal, don't open it if bothers you that much, sometimes it's just a person looking to get familiar with posting on a forum for the first time... I will always be happy to answer a "worn out" thread if I can help....:smile:
