Anyone found a good deal on a stout clutch set. Running a T3-T4, not stock ,need much grip. :burnout:What are your REAL power levels now, and you goals?My 88 TC was running a little north of 300 HP, 5200 rpm launches off a two step at 10 psi boost on ET streets at 3500#'s. I ran the RAM replacement clutch in that car for about 160 passes, and 8K street miles, no mercy. That clutch was a real dream, drove like stock, held real well at that power level. I loved that clutch, and lots of other guys that have followed my lead seem happy with it too. ((~$140.00 from Summit)Now, I put the same clutch in my Capri, it worked well for a while at a little higher power level. I swapped injectors to 55#'s and did a little tuning, and it slipped like mad. It wasnt the clutch, I was just driving right through it as it just didnt have enough clamp load. The clutch I removed is in my bussies car, and still making passes today, he is happy with it. I ended up going withthe Spec 3+ in the Capri, its held everything I can throw at it, but it is sort of off / on. I drive the car a lot, and am used to it, but anyone that tries to drive the car stalls it a lot. It seems like the line is about 340 HP or so, once i crossed that, it wouldnt hold. I use the term HP here, but its actually torque that make them slip, just no good way to pull torque from ET/MPH (Spec 3+ ~$400.00) Quote Selected
Best bang for the buck Reply #8 – October 03, 2007, 08:46:07 PM i've always had good luck with spec, but it's more of an on/off switch, like you said. centerforce makes a good product too. Quote Selected
