is it neccessary to get a "scatter shield" housing? i havent heard much bout clutches explodin on these cars...
ive had the same spec stage 3 for a while, and i like it, no problems. however i did just up the hp with a new setup, and really wonder if im ever gonna have that problem and lose a leg or something..ha. does anyone carry better bell housings? any real high hp guys using something different than stock? curious.

Check out the McLeod unit. Sponsors such as Thunder Racing carry it.

A friend of mine and I both have the McLeod SFI bellhousing. We got them from Paul at Thunder Racing. I saw pictures of a couple of LSX clutches that exploded. It's kind of scary to repeatedly dump the clutch at 4,000 + rpm and think of it blowing up. It truly gives peace of mind.

What raised my concern was that when I replaced my first clutch I saw that the OEM bellhousing was aluminum and it was like only 1/8" thick. I mean if you hit it with a hammer it would probably shatter it was so thin. What surprises me is that I go to the drags at three different tracks and tech never looks at the bellhousing.

$350 is cheap piece of mind. I'll end up getting one in the offseason probably.

Is this Mcleod one a direct bolt in or require modification?

Minimum modification for the safety it gives. I had to grind a little on the drivers side to clear my Jet Hots and I welded a piece in to close up the hole for a manual clutch arm. Some grinding is necessary on the back of the oil pan. Easy install.
