Powerhouse, I always enjoy reading your insights into the performance improvements of the Hayabusa. I am curious as to why you feel the MTC is less complicated then the Hays Multi-stage? Admittedly, I am a new convert to the multi-stage world and chose to work with the Hays as my introduction to it. I found it easy to work with and went through minimal set-up to race.
Why would you want to use a multi stage lockup or slider for LSR and street , neither application needs the functions these perform
If you don't mind a heavy lever just use the "turbo " style clutch springs RCC and others sell , or for a lighter clutch a single stage lockup
Both will give the force required to hold the clutch and otherwise operate like a normal clutch
Thats what im looking for, A lighter lever so it's more streetable when caught in traffic, I have the 20lbs springs in it now but will have to go high later with the added HP, I don't want to change out springs bettween events, so the single stage sounds like the way to go?Why would you want to use a multi stage lockup or slider for LSR and street , neither application needs the functions these perform

Hey Paul - I guess I should have worded it slightly different. The Hays convertible is innovative, in that it has the ability to be a single stage lockup, multistage lockup. or a slider. A single stage lockup is not as good as a multistage as far as dragracing is concerned, and for LSR and/or street riding, you sure don't want a slider. So the other things that the Hays does is not needed in this application. The MTC is simpler in design, and cheaper. But for those guys that are hardcore, the Hays can definately do more, and is a great choice . . .
Hi. This is what I will be using the MTC Gen 2. How much money do you want to spend? My clutch set up will be over $3,000.00 the trans also over $3,000.00. I will be doimg LST, Drags and street.this is a old post just want to know if there new technology on a street clutch set ups, I need to upgrade my old stock street clutch with a lot of miles on it. would you replace a new billet clutch basket with heaver springs or go with a new mtc multi stage clutch ?
Hi. the price was with the RCC clutch cover, the Robinsons output shaft support and some custom light weight parts for the output shaft support. Guy at Tiger Racing ran the GEN 2 clutch. Why do you think the NLR clutch is better? Is that for street too?For street and lsr, NLR boost compensated clutch hands down.
