Clutch Qustion

[stangnutlx]

I was thinking of a ram powergrip clutch.


Can you guys recommend a clutch kit for a 375rwhp 306ci car?amnit:

Spec Stage II or III. I have a Stage I on my 290rwhp 306 and it bites hard as hell. I like it a lot better than my old Centerforce DF. I have driven a Fox with a Ram clutch and I didn't like the way it felt.

hows pedal feel with your spec?

I had the Spec III in mine too. To me the pedal felt a little harder than the stock one but nothing to extreme at all.

ive currently got the king cobra in the car now i think it sucks!!!!! get stuck in traffic and your left leg gets tired fast. Need to find something that grips like a bastid and is easy on the leg

Powergrips are a nice setup. Due to their sintered iron on one side though they can be a little rough on the friction surface, but they hold their own quite well.

anyone have a 3 finger clutch setup?

I have the Ram Powergrip HD in my car part # RAM-98794HD through Summit. The pedal is lighter than with a stock clutch. It took some time to get comfortable with the lighter pedal.

looks exactly like the parts that advance auto sells. never heard anything bad about them, but never knew anyone who ran one in a mustang either.

The first 100 miles or so. Not so much anymore. A buddy has a Spec and it was worse than mine was. His has gotten better too, though.

after doing some research im most likely gonna go with a powergripHD setup...

Havent heard too many good things about spec's tech support...

I've got a RAM and the pedal effort is kinda hard. On a scale of 1 to 10, it's probably a 7. The ball of my foot actually hurts sometimes when I do a lot of city driving, but the cluch grips like a mofo! You know what they say though, no pain, no gain.

That could be in you cable. My pedal was effortless with the old 168,000 mile stock one. It broke soon after the motor rebuild. So, I bought a cheap parts store one to get by on and the pedal was stiff as a mofo. After a week it got really, really stiff. Then a few days later...notchy. So then I got a Ford one and now the pedal is effortless again.

Well bubba i think you helped me make my mind up Thanks Buddy

hows pedal feel with your spec?

It's a little heavier than stock, but I hate the feeling of a light clutch. Plus I love how hard the Spec bites, I'd recommend it to ya. Just break it in properly and you will have no problem.

The first one I bought, got burnt a little from some goof ball not routing it correctly through the K-member, and the header got it. Well, I drove the car awhile with it on, and bought another "cheapo", and that helped alot. I'd say pedal effort is medium. I plan to leave it alone until this clutch goes out. But what do you suggest, go and buy a cable from a Ford dealership instead of the Advanced cables? Sorry for hi-jacking.

centerforce dual friction is what I would run at that power level , king cobra is good for anything under 350rwhp ....and specs are JUNK ...........
