Which clutch??
Which clutch?? I have been doing some looking around on the stores here. I see that everyone offers the SPEC clutches and it seems like they have a good rep. I also seen the website for competition clutches. Does anyone have any experience with them?? Just trying to narrow my search for when I buy the clutch.
Spec stage 3 has been a good clutch for me. It's got about 7k on it no problems, holds well. When it's cold, it works similar to the stock unit. When you make a couple hard runs, it is less forgiving but not to bad.
iv got a spec 2. this thing chattered its *** off when i first put it in. its been in for about 4 months (i think) and most of it has gone away. i seriously thought i was going to break something it was so bad. but now it performs almost like stock but if you heat it up a little, its almost an on-off switch it grabs so well. the spec 2 release bearing broke on me so they sent me one from a spec 3 and is working fine now.
Does anyone have some input on the clutches from Competition Clutch? I was looking a the 2600 series.http://www.competitionclutch.com/sto...hp?vinvid=6669
RAM Powergrip HD here with billet steel spec flywheel. This clutch is basically on/off. grabs well. Kinda hard to get used to though. I don't see this slippin anytime soon with my setup.
You can't go wrong with the Mcleod Twin disk. Mine drives pretty much like a stocker and hooks hard enough to find any weak links. It's expensive but comes with a billet flywheel and an adjustable master cylinder.

I have talked to Chris at Competition clutch and he says his clutchs are good for around 400hp! You may want to give him a call and see what he says though! He has good prices on his clutchs if you can work something out.
lol my stocker has helt 540 fl lb in a 3650 car for about a year...slippin it at the track killed it...im about to look for clutches also..but im goana go twin disk i think and a single 76
I imagine his clutchs will handle more but he rates his low so the buyer has a good clutch to hold the power they need! I think he does it that way so people dont buy it and think it will handle more and it dosnt! I have one and it has held up good so far! Oh and my car makes a little more than 400!

There is a new player in the market for late model clutches too - www.monsterclutches.com and they seem to be a pretty solid unit.

I like the street twin but, I'm more of a budget racer because of the economy. I had a Powergrip HD when I was cam only running 12.7's but, I'm looking for something different this time.
