I found this clutch from RAM on Moss Mustang's website but am having trouble finding out just exactly which clutch it is Moss Mustang Store - Parts and Accessories for your Ford Mustang I am in need of a new clutch but don't know if this clutch will take my inability to drive or the abuse of my magnacharger. They don’t list any max RWHP or torque figures for it and the price seems really low to be a good street/strip clutch for a low power blown 3V. I am planning on turning the wick up to 8-8.5psi and adding a snow water meth kit at the same time as the new clutch and light weight flywheel, and 3.73 gears any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I run RAM Powergrip HD w/ RAM steel flywheel (26 spline) and couldnt be happier... your find looks good; very good.

If you ever want a little more.... the RAM's are very good.

PM me if you want any specifics.

Thanks for the feedback and very impressive numbers by the way Chad. My only question left about this clutch then is this little blip at the end of the clutch description "Use only with RAM billet steel or factory nodular iron (explosion resistant) flywheels" Moss recommends the light weight flywheel to go with this clutch... are they setting me up for failure?

Not necessarily. Think about it. Performance clutch kits are usually heavier and are meant to generate more friction then your stock flywheel could probably handle. Upgrade to their flywheel to balance and lighten your rotating assembly and to make sure that it can take the abuse from the increased forces that are at play.

Also I bought from Moss my Roush suspension and some other items and I couldn't be happier with the service and the prices. Will definitely do business again especially now that they have a free shipping on orders over 50 dollars offer (down from 600 regular) till mid February.

Good point about the heavier clamp load. I guess if I would have just used that squishy stuff between my ears a little I would have put that together too. I have done business with Moss before also and agree, they are a great company. I think that is the next clutch I am going to fry on the track then.

Feels just like stock, no chatter; even in reverse.
