I think your missing the point of the chisel track. If you add a track setup like that you eliminate the spin factor. Some of these kits hit harder out of the hole then others. You level the playing across the board with a speed track. Each sled will come out equally. Does that represent how your trail track will work in those conditions "no". But it eliminates the argument that this kit is better then that kit
Running a chisel track that completely eliminates track spin has absolutely no meaning to 99% of customers buying a clutch kit. Would that kit even be close to what they will get when they buy from Ulmer or whoever? What meaning will those results have to anyone? Maybe you need to compare stock to trail clutch kits and stock to "race" kits.
Taking two stock sleds or timers on good hardpacked conditions is the only way to test clutching. Hardpack snow with a stock studded track will not compare at all with a chisel speed track on ice. Holeshot RPM numbers, shifting are totally different. using a chisel track for testing will only give you the best setup for a chisel track. You need to test with what you run the most.
This is the best way, it represents the largest group of people buying clutch kits.
Trying to compare Clutch kits in one sled by simply bolting them on isn't going to work. There are far to many variables. number one each kit on the market currently uses different components. Each kit may be pulling different full shift rpm
Don't most customers buy a clutch kit and simply bolt it on? What % of customers actually tune the kits? And what % just bolt them in? Do you think you need to know that before deciding this test? Again, then you know who your representing and why.
Why not take a stock sled, studded, have whoever sells clutch kits, send one as they would send the average customer (no special tuning), run each kit as is on hard pack snow, continually comfirming your baseline (stock setting) before and after each kit. You gotta record e/g rpm, jackshaft and actual speed. From those 3 items you can calculate anything you want.
Make a note that each kit was run as is, then if you want to "special" tune each kit, you could then show each kits "potential" with some tuning.
Anyways sounds like it could be a good time! And, of course cause some controversy!
