Need input on clutch what to go with

[sn8kbte]

What clutch should I get d&d performance or spec 5 clutch both of them are about the same price.. My future mods are kb should have it before the end of this year or maybe by summer. Your input would be great thanks.

A stage V spec is quite aggressive, if this is a street car you might look at something like the 2+ or 3. Promotion powertrain has a good selection of clutches and can provide a good reccomendation for you too.

I would think a stage 3 would be more than enough.

anything but a spec...i know i am the only on in here that hates his spec lol

OP check out fidanza and centerforce

also the search button is in the upper right corner on this forum...it is your friend

I got a centerforce DF. It had a great pedal feel and grabs well. I am not sure how it will handle 500+ RWHP but it will handle 400+. Make sure you go with an oem or timken T.O.B. or else you will be very sorry.

I didn't particularly care for the the Spec clutch I had in my 02 GT. Centerforce, is a good choice. A lot of people also run the '03/'04 Cobra clutch on some pretty high power setups without problems.

Spec 5 Clutch ?

Are you going for 1000rwhp ? :lol1:

I think a spec 2 or 3 would work best :burnout:

Isn't the stage 5 race only? What exactly are your plans for this car?

I know the Stage 5 is a grabbin SOB...my friends nitrous LS1 T/a snaped a custom drive shaft on the very first launch with the stage 5...the second launch (a week later) took out the 12 bolt lol

i am begining to think that is standard with most brands

like my deal with spec...i had never heard a bad thing about them until i got mine...i still have it but i hate it

only because i am too poor to replace it right now lOLOL

Well with my car its going to be my dd will be driving 4 days out of the week. Right now my engine is stock but I'm going to add a kb this year I hope ill make between 450-500 hp. Also by. Next year I'm going to get the aluminator engine well with the spec 5 one of my buddies is selling. It for 225. And the d&d performance clutch is going for 175.. Don't know which to buy..

 

[sn8kbte]

well im changing my mind now. i went on lethalperformance it said stage 5 is for racing only.. so now im thinking of going with the spec 1 for the moment what you guys think?

stage 1 - 410 ft lbs tq capacity
stage 2 - 520 ft lbs tq capacity
stage 3 - 680 ft lbs tq capacity
stage 4 - 680 ft lbs tq capacity
stage 5 - 1100 ft lbs tq capacity

Looks to me like a Spec 2+ or a Spec 3 is your best bet.

 

[sn8kbte]

Cool thanks for the info..

Thats what I said :rolling:

Yeah go for a Spec 2+ and their alum flywheel. My buddy had a stage 3 didn't like it as much for DD but he switched to the 2+ and loved it. He said the 2+ engages "slower" to make it streettable and the stage 3 was either engaged or not with no let out.

 

[Slw01Cobra]

I had a spec 1 and never had any problems with it

 

[venom1997]

how about the stage 2 i have that and its awesome also its full kevlar so it should be the last clutch you need to buy pretty much

 

[sn8kbte]

Cool ill prob end up with stage 2 and go with a alumi flywheel..
