Looking for a clutch

**no1sirbutler** · 08-05-2010, 09:38 PM

My buddy had a 90 fox gt w/ a new motor about to be dropped in w/ a procharger. He will be making around 500 rwhp and needs a clutch. He is extremely hard on things and is the dump the clutch and go kinda guy. He has looked into a McCleod twin disk and likes them but is wondering what other options he has for a twin disk. Do you 5.0 guys know of any other twin disk clutches he might want to check out.

If he dont have his mind set on a twin disk and wants to save a few bucks, my spec 3+ has held to 733 rwtq so far, and is still streetable

I'll second that. My spec stage 3 held up to relentless 2nd and 3rd gear senseless clutch drops from a standstill. And then the next year lived through a full race season of hillclimbing with a T-trim. Twin disk is nice for the light pedal though, but $$$$.

To pile on, the Spec 3+ is a pretty amazing pice IMO. A little pricey, but worth it to me (likely much cheaper than a twin disc).

I had the most power Spec had seen through a single 3+ at 900rwtq.
I thought it was a great clutch, better than the regular 3 puck-style I had.
At his power level, I'd recommend a single 3+ or if he's got the cash, the twin disk.
I have a friend at Spec, let me know if he wants his contact info.

Agreed. I got a Spec Stage 2+ in my 2005 Supercharged Mustang GT. It is a pretty good piece of equipment.

I would recommend Spec... Hell, I wear their t-shirt too :P

That would be awesome man. I would appreciate it b/c by the end of the winter Ill need a new clutch also lol.

I'll add to the agreement on teh Spec 3+ ... that's what i had in my TT T/A and it was awesome..... it was a bit stiff, which was awkward, considering the T/A had a hydraulic clutch, but i got used to it quickly...

**no1sirbutler** · 08-06-2010, 11:32 PM

Well Ive told him about the Spec stage 3 plus and he would rather go w/ a twin disk just for the pedal feel. The only 2 I know of for him is the Spec and the McCleod one. Are there any more and which ones do you guys think would be the best?

**Mark Aubele** · 08-07-2010, 12:11 AM

Either one will be fine. 500 rwhp is pretty tame these days, I think any twin-disc is overkill for that power level. But the light pedal is nice if he doesn't mind paying more than double the money. I never thought my 3 was that heavy.

**gmkillr** · 08-07-2010, 04:11 PM

My old Ram Powergrip HD handled 500+ rwhp for a few years and was a very nice clutch that I would use again in a heartbeat!

Nice and cheap to! Summit keeps them in stock!

**Boostjunkie** · 08-08-2010, 12:14 AM

A twin disk is def overkill for 500hp, but at least it will give him a lot of room to grow if he ever decides to....plus i dont think he'll have clutch failure issues lol
