[stang8762]

Im looking to upgrade my clutch/ flywheel on my 99 . Whats a good setup? Im trying to decide between the 03/04 and the Fidanza clutch and flywheel.

03/04 clutch and flywheel??

Fidanza Aluminum flywheel $265 shipped

My car is all street and a daily driver im looking for a good setup for 500hp.

check promotion powertrain, a buddy installed their 11" 650hp clutch and it is fantastic.

03/04 cobra clutch and flywheel.

Good combo, will hold lots of HP and cheap.

anyone know what a 03/04 clutch flywheel combo goes for?

The promotion clutch I mentioned uses a stock cobra pressure plate but an improved disc with a shim spacer, gives stock pedal pressure and feel, with great grip. $329

An oem 03/04 clutch is probably in the $250 or so range. Check Tousley ford ask for steve.

The 03/04 Cobra clutch is spec'd only for 425 hp/ft-lbs but it'll hold a decent amount over that. Plus it is cheap, cheap, cheap. I got mine for $225. I like it a whole lot better than the Spec I had.

i have the fidanza 2.1 and the alum FW. I love it. smoth as silk and lighter than stock pedal preassure. I love it.

with 03-04 clucth and pp do you have to use 03fw or is it the same as the 99fw

I just had the stock '99 nodular iron flywheel resurfaced when the 03/04 clutch went in.

aluminum flywheel is a great mod. You are in there anyway just replace it. My 4000 to redline is amazingly stronger after the alum flywheel and the x pipe

Im thinking i will go fidanza Aluminum flywheel since i can get it for a steal and it only weighs 12.75 lbs and a 03/04 clutch. I will let everyone know how it drives..

I also think while i am in there i will do :

FMS pilot bearing
LDC Free Play Mod
New Oem clutch cable

i have the fidanza 2.1 and the alum FW. I love it. smoth as silk and lighter than stock pedal preassure. I love it.

Can you reuse your stock flywheel bolts on the fidanza flywheel or do you need new ones??
