Best clutch for ~300rwhp

[emagdnim]

Any suggestions i was thinking spec but not sure which stage to go with... Keep it real thanks!

I would go with a Tyco Type R triple disk carbon fiber 3 inch clutch, and the matching titanium/carbon fiber flywheel.























j/k... lol...... I'd go for a Spec Stage 1... FMS Heavy Duty or King Cobra.. Centerforce DF... Whichever will be fine.

I would perhaps step it up a little from what Nick might do, with something like a Star stg 2.

Nick, CF is unnecessary in a flywheel till you hit ~450 HP.

FMS HD or king cobra if your just gonna drive it and race it once in a while. Mcleod dual friction if your gonna race it, launch it hard and drive it.

Why these clutches? i have heard only good things about the Spec clutches any objections?

The 3 clutches I listed would be the only uses you'd find inside my bellhousing

I ran a FMS HD for 5 years and over 50k miles. It was great. I daily drove it, street raced it, track raced it and sprayed nitrous on it. Clutch was great! I mde 300rwhp on motor. The king cobra would be great too but with a softer pedal feel. I ran a king cobra for a short while as well. Now I am building a stroker and need something stronger but still a good pedal feel and not hard hitting. Something that'll handle a low 11/high 10 capable car. That would be the mcleod dual friction disk with a King cobra pressure plate.

I have ~300rwhp and have a King Cobra...works great soo far

I have a "300rwhp" car and the King Cobra wasn't up for a lot of abuse...but it was a great daily driver clutch...

I have sense upgraded to a CF Stage II clutch which has a softer pedal effort and grabs harder...

I want something were i can do alot of launches without worrying about burning the clutch out !

 

[wyominghotwheel]

spec stage III.............awesome clutch for the money

I like my ram 300 series clutch. Pedel is kinda hard but I can launch as hard as I want.

 

[Xterminator03]

I have close to 300hp and i have the king Cobra it great and the pedal feel is even better.

I'm pretty confident (not just because I have it) but the CF Stage II I have (60% more holding power) will handle what you want...the King Cobra holds 30% more over stock. The CF holds more...and has a lighter pedal feel and is quite slippable.

The Spec Stage III will be WAY overkill...that isn't a clutch you want...

 

[cleanLX]

hayes or mcleod.

 

[mcvey90]

spec stage 2

i went with a stage 2 for my 347. loved the pedal effort and it grabs like no other. I used to have CF, chattered my brain right out of my ear.

My wife has sinced poured my brain back into my head, and I pulled the CF out put it up on ebay and got a spec. can't remember the website I got it off of though. I want to say it was perks performance or something performance. good prices.

good luck

 

[Blk91stang]

I'd go King Cobra considering you can get them for under $200

Perky is a moderator here. One can PM him for prices.

Well the harder the clutch grabs the sooner the tranny goes boom.
unless you upgrade.

Spec stage 1, good on the street, engages just hard enough, and doesnt chatter. Stage 2 will shock the crap outta the drivetrain if you ask it to, but still doesnt chatter and works well.

King Cobra's overheat if you powershift or drive/launch hard repeatedly.
Centerforces work great but they do chatter and dont last all that long.
I'm running a centerforce at the moment. I've had a lot of clutches in my car and so far nothing compares to the Spec Stage 2....
