What clutch are you guys using? I have a Spec3 and it only lasted 5k miles. I daily drive the car when its running so need some feedback on a good clutch. I know this is the FI section but wanted opinion from here.

 

I have a Spec 3+ going in right now but it's because my RAM 980 went out tuning the car. That clutch held 525 rwhp after ~20k miles it was rated ~550 fwhp. A few people have said the Spec 3+ is a really good clutch but I find lot of bad reviews on here. Was yours a 3+ or just a 3? I think the best bet from the research I have done is Mcloed twin disc or Exedy Twin disc. Not sure what Textralia has but they may be an option also.

 

I have had my same spec stage 3 for prolly 20k on it.I think they either hold forever or go to easily.Id go spec 4 or on of the new rams.If you have the money you could go with one of the high dollar twin disks.They really work the best

Cartek. 3730lbs leaving at 5-5500rpm.

 

mcleod twin disk here...

 

Textralia here. I had a Spec 3+ but it gave out on me after 2K

 

McLeod twin.

 

i have a spec 3, making little over 800 ft/lbs tq and leaving the line at 5K, 3400 race weight.

its never slipped. bout 8k miles on it

 

im on a stock one..... ha ha but i will be looking into getting a twin disc

 

my Spec 2 is a great clutch. I have heard bad reviews but it was in the car when I bought it and it grabs great and is easy to drive. I have ran it at the strip back to back to back and I think it grabbed harder on the third run so it definitly wasnt slipping. I was launching at 3k with a quick dump. I know I dont have a whole lot of power (342hp/346tq) but I give it hell and it just does what I want it to.

 

How does the pedal feel for the Ram, Textralia and McLoud? Need the car for a DD.

 

I'm in the same boat and would like to know more!

 

Ram PowerGrip HD with 300 series race disk............great street clutch and holds the power/torque of the N20 with ease on the DR's.

 

My ram blew up n/a after 12k...

Im using a Textrilia.

 

For how long? What hydrolics are you using? The Textrilla is on infinite backorder due to the location (Aussie) I could get a Cartek quicker (it seems)

 

I'm using the hydrolics and adjustable master that they send with the package.

STREET
15k street miles and lost count of the T/T passes (450-614 rwhp) 3900-3950lbs,

TRACK (2nd gear burnouts ranging from 5-10 secs @ 6k with a 3.73 gear)

8 passes on the 28x13.5 QTP's (672/600) 3730lbs,

12 passes on 325/50 MT ET Street DR's (614/537) 3750lbs 4500-5k launches slipping it just a touch,

15 or so passes on 17" Nittos (315's), ET street bias plys (11.5's), & MT et street DR's (275's). 3500-4k launches slipping the clutch a bit. (400-530 rwhp) 3850-3900lbs

 

Thanks, great detailed information. Off the top of your head, who carries this clutch?

McLeod single disk. Grabs well and is somewhat slippable, still a bitch in traffic though. However, I still have stock 3.42's so that doesn't help much.
