RE: Larry's GTV6 Racer in the Cams

["Ian Lomax" <sfalfisto@xxxxxxxxx>]

He's talking about the Limited slip clutch packs, not the main driveline
clutch.  I'm not sure about the preload set up, but basically I belive
he's changing it from about 25% lockup to about 75% lockup so that the
inside wheel doesn't spin exiting a corner under power.  Whatever he's
doing it works, his GTV6 is fast, as I pretty much only saw the back of
it at Sears Point, and only briefly.

Cheers,
Ian Lomax
