After a month and a half of having the blower on my car the clutch is starting to slip pretty bad. What clutch should i buy for my car. By the way its my daily driver and it has the tr3650 in it. I see about 10 psi at the top of 3rd so i guess im around 360 rwhp. Also what do most shops charge for the install.
what clutch for supercharged mustang?

I like my stock clutch with 400hp its fine 
Go with Mcleod, or Spec stg3. I don't like centerforce - had too many friends have problems with em.

I have a Spec stage II and it's great. Whatever you do, stay away from a King Cobra, I fried up 2 of them NA!
ok im prolly gonna be goin with the spec stage 2 clutch. Should i blow the money and upgrade to an aluminum flywheel, i read some past posts and its usually 50/50 on steel/aluminum for daily driver. Or can i just use my stock flywheel. And what websites have the best deals on clutches and flywheels.

You can just get your stock flywheel resurfaced at a drive train shop. Do NOT put the new clutch in with the old untouched flywheel. Recurface it or replace it with something else 
.
I went with the spec stg 3 and a fidanza aluminum flywheel...but your choice of a spec stg 2 would probably be the best.
LOTS of failures with centerforce, some with KC, some with spec, less with mcleod because NOONE has them lol. EVERY clutch has ALOT of bad and ALOT of good (not just failures, but just negitive and positive feedback from users) ...its basically a hit or miss with whatever you choose.
Like some buy 2-3 centerforce DFX clutchs and DESTROY everyone of them in no time with 500RWHP and switch brands and then are fine. Another guy has 650RWHP and puts his DFX through heck with 0 problems.
Its like that for ALL of the clutchs. I just like spec, and they have some serious holding power....seem to have the least failures on the high HP cars.
More chattering problems than actual failures...actually very very few failures in the cobra/GT (450+HP) world from what I have seen.

I had mine resurfaced and its been fine. Chattering is usually because of either not resurfacing the flywheel, or people not breaking in the clutch properly. Follow the breaking directions carefully, most clutches require 500 miles of easy driving to break it in. NO BEATING ON IT!!!
ok this may sound weird but just remember i've never really felt what a slipping clutch felt like only what i thought it would feel like. Anyway i went over my friends house today to pick up a quadrant/firewall adjuster, when we popped the hood for him to show me how to hook it up i realized my boost pipe was pretty much coming off of the blower, so we tightened it down and i went back home. Driving back home i realized that feeling of a slipping clutch was gone i guess i never had a slipping clutch and it was just a loose boost pipe making the car run funny. Anyway im happy, i can prolong spending lots of money on a new clutch.
