What clutches you guys running

[Slow5.0]

I was wandering what clutches you guys running

 

[bimmertech]

king cobra, stock replacement flywheel.

 

[growler]

centerforce stage 2

 

[Grn92LX]

Mcleod dual friction disk, pro motion blueprinted/modified ford motorsport HD pressure plate (modified to handle over 450hp and high rpm's) and I use a fidanza SFI aluminum flywheel.

How much do these combo's run you guys? I've GOT to replace my stock clutch since it's clearly going downhill and isn't catching very well. Hopefully it gets through the winter but we'll see.

I want to get something that can handle the power I WILL be putting into the car, aka so I don't have to buy another clutch once I do the mods - what do you suggest? I also want one thats not going to bust in the first 6 months.

FMS HD with new stock flywheel, i wanted my T5 to last

 

[loud 95]

I run a Stage 2 SPEC. When I switch to the turbo and 347, I will probably go with an EXEDY multi-disk and flywheel.

I would not suggest a Ford Motorsport HD unit at all. No offense to those who have it, but I had one and it blew the crap out of my tranny after a while because of the abrupt engagement. I would recommend a King Cobra with a McCleod disk, its good up to 500 HP.

Iv heard good things about spec stage II. I had a centerforce CFDF and I really liked it actually on my 91 5.0

Im running the stocker still....

 

[loudpedal99]

I'm planning on using a Spec stage 2, possibly with the stage 3 pressure plate. I have heard good things about this setup. I'm like you in that I don't think my stock clutch will last long after h/c/i

How about 3 King Cobra clutches in 2.5 years or 20k miles

 

[91LX_5L]

My buddy had a stage III in his camaro it was a pretty rough clutch unless you drag a lot or pushing lots of HP not worth it at all.

 

[95_5.0_stang]

Centerforce clutch...not sure of the exact model because it came in the setup I bought used which I swapped into my car and it was already installed.

 

[StylinP]

I like my RAM Powergrip with my Tremec. Seems to be holding up with my mild 75HP wet shot OK.

Hey, I'm not greedy!

 

[blksn955.o]

Autozone clutch...want to use a weaker clutch until my T-5 goes (hope the clutch is the weakest link there).

When the t-5 goes I will use either a spec stage II or a centerforce. BOth of the 2 should be stronger than the stock t-5, making the t-5 the weak link...blowing it before the clutch.

buddy of mine tore threw 2 king cobra clutches, one just shatterd' and parts were sticking out of the vents in the bell. Got a centerforce and his trans started going south from the added force the clutch would take over the king cobra...we think he ended up bending a main shaft in his.

Hi,
Using a Spec 2+ and it works well, just got it broke in and it has a heavier feel than the Centerforce that only lasted 10 months..

I'm running a SPEC I with no problems. Pedal feel is really good and even with my 4.10s and 290hp it's holding real well.
