By eight inch I think you mean the multiplate (motorcycle) type.Yes I think someone does but I can't find the ad.I'll have to wait untill the next issue of MM&FF gets here.You might try some of the Mustang mags because I know I saw one somewhere.

He wants an 8" because the RPM's climb faster, even though you will loose grip so moving to a much stronger pressure plate and durable clutch material is very much needed.

Its alot harder to get a 10 foot wheel spinning then a 1 foot wheel, ever watch how hard those people on Wheel-of-fortune have to pull to get that thing movin? Same principle.

yeah i get that but wieght has just as much to do with it as size the same can be achived buy going with an alumium fly wheel and then you still get the grip of a 10.5" clutch.
