Sachs1050 flywheel and high HP clutch combo

I have a sachs 1050 flywheel for my turbo'd LQ4. Im using this because of its thickness to work with my Muncie. Im looking for a clutch to match this flywheel that will handle about 800+Hp. Im running an auto gear M22 tranny with 1-1/8" 26 spline input shaft manual clutch linkage.

Just for fun I tried my lining up my old SBC clutch to this flywheel, it looks like the bolt pattern is the same, but the pressure plate did not line up correctly.

What are my high horsepower clutch options for this flywheel? I prefer a twin disk for a lighter pedal. I plan to run slicks at the track.

I used the same flywheel with my SBC clutch, just remove the alignment pins.

Did the ID of the pressure plate seat on the flywheel?

I ran that as well, used my centerforce dual friction on it. You'll have to get metric flywheel bolts, and drill out 3 the holes a little larger on the pressure plate.

Everything seemed to line up fine, I used the old 11-7/8" clutch with standard pressure plate bolts, no issues.

Re: Sachs1050 flywheel and high HP clutch combo

I also have that Sachs FW based on whitels1's recipe, but I'm a bit confused as to which clutch to order. My thought was a Centerforce DF024909 which Summit states as a 12". But there are also 11" listed. Why?

JUST A THOUGHT? For the power & revs you will be running, Mcleod makes a billet steel flywheel to fit that app. Its a tad pricey( PN 460535 @ $430)....but my feet/legs ,ect are worth far more than the cost of the flywheel crazyL

Yes thanks I agree about my feet and legs as well. I ordered the McLeod rxt clutch and flywheel. I feel good about about the whole combo now.
