Clutches

[Silverhatch]

I started thinking, in light of what Bimini posted about his clutch not holding his power level, what are guys like Uwanrunit running in there cars that have close to the power that Bimini is running. As far as I know alot of the Cobra guys haven't swapped clutches in their cars. I really haven't looked into it yet, but what streetable clutch is better than my Spec stage 3?

Get with Wally @ Pro-Motion and he can set you up with the right clutch for your needs.

I agree with the Wally comment, good guys at Pro Motion.
Also, do you have a Spec 3 (which is 6-puck style) or the 3+ (full face agressive material, rated higher with better pedal feel)? I've had both, like the 3+ much better but the regular 3 isn't bad, just slips less for the street/more on/off.
To be honest, the best clutch at these power levels is a twin disk, just they usually require a matching flywheel and are expensive.
Last, no Cobra here is at my power level :), I make 660rwhp on my 6# wastegate spring ;)

Glad you inserted a smiley because I have been over your power level for 3+ years now with 663RWHP/665RWTQ. ROTFLMAO

haha, yeah I threw that out there just to see if you were paying attention

Also, as far as the twin disks go, they can make adjustments to the Spec pieces. Matt at Spec is a guy I talk with a lot, he's an engineer there and can make adjustments based on what you're trying to do, even though he told me I need a Spec stage "P" for Powerglide .

Sitting in the garage for 3+ years doesn't count!

Yes it does! Hey Eddie go check out the I like guns thread!

I have always been told by many people and some nmra racers to talk to Wally at pro-motion

I believe its the full face style, from what I can remember when I installed it. I bought it from MikeyMustang who claimed it was good for almost 800ftlbs. It definately doesn't feel like it slips much, more like a light switch.

Remember now, Mike also welded that clutch to the flywheel. I think it was the one you have in your car too.

Was it a root and two?

[went9s]

The one Mike welded to the flywheel I put in my old car. I put 12k miles on it with 12psi boost and a 125 shot of spray.

I have had great luck with the Ram powergrip HD, my car is pretty heave and I hit the tires very hard. I had the trans out last year and it still looked great after about 60 passes.

[yeahloh95]

i like stock clutches they are easy on other parts

Mike did have a three plus in his car the last I knew. The answer is in the face, four or 6 puck is stage 3 (they actually make both), full faced is 3+

i like stock clutches

Try leaving above idle once ;)

[Wolfpack Speed]

You will get so many different opinions on this topic, my preference is the Ram Powergrip HD. The biggest thing I see at the shop is 50% of the cars that come in with aftermarket adjusters are not being adjusted properly and are out of adjustment. Clutch wont live long that way...

Sintered iron adjustable. Rob Youngblood @ Advanced Clutches can hook you up! Disc + PP = 18#, flywheel is 6.4#

[Silverhatch]

mxracer, thats a badass piece!

[wick]

mxracer, I hope you dont plan to drive that piece on the street.
