They were used clutch shoes that I was given back in september. They've been on the motor for that long. The springs were also weak. We'll see how they last, if I melt them its no big deal.
With the math calculations it means that at peak power (OS States 3hp @ 28,000rpm, 3hp or not, i think the 28,000rpm is right). 28,000rpm means the car will be traveling about 40mph.
I know from timed drag races that the car covers 400ft in roughly 6 seconds from a standing start with a 15t clutchbell. Thats about an average speed of 45mph, with an engine speed of 36,000rpm.
I may have to experiement a bit to see what shoes/springs will work the best but I'm sure I'll figure it out.
