Default About to order textralia clutch, any reason not to?
I need something to better connect my 700 FWHP to the rear wheels. From what I have heard, this is the way to go.

Anyone know of anything that is better or a reason not to go with this clutch?

The Textralia appears to be the current best approach for many but if you are pushing 700 crank HP you are at the upper limit of what the Textralia is rated at. I have heard that some Aussies are running it with more HP but something to keep in mind.

Well I ordered it and it should be here in a couple of days. I'm having it installed at MTI this weekend so I'll post up a review soon.

thanks!

If the Tex can prove worthy of 600-700hp, it is going to dominate the market. Cant wait to see how testing turns out...keep us posted
