Taking a mag away = dropped cyliders and blown up parts.
Add weight? Simple physics and Gary Scelzi will tell you what it's like to stop a heavier funny car after they added weight this year. Kinda like stopping a big rig heading down the Ridge Route (Grape Vine) which is 6 miles of 6% grade. Right now they weigh as much as a pro stocker does. and pro stockers have working doors, real tailights, a radiator full of water, a hood that comes off and complete working suspension
In making the clutch change only the hat, cannon and whatever other clutch activation timers/devices they have would have to come off. The flywheel, clutch discs, floaters, stands, counterweight, bellhousing, engine, reverser, driveshaft, and everything else including heads, blowers, fuel pumps, mags, rods, pistons, wings, spoilers, splill plates, bodies, parachutes, weight bars, computers, wheelie bars, technology trailers and even the ice chests would remain intact.
All you would need to do is change the hat on the existing clutch and buy some feeler gauges. Maybe $3,000 worth of parts. No brainer.
