Well good day yesterday but what I have been feeling for awhile my clutch was slipping. I was using a ram power force. I drive my car on the street also. Maybe 20k on it at the most. I would like to get more life at of a dual purpose clutch. Any suggestions on what to use that will hold up on the street and strip |

With those tires, i would say any clutch would be fine dom. I had stock stuff in my LS6 chevelle when i was running it! Besides a little slippage prob helps! Lol |

I use a Center Force dual disc with centrifugal weights. Very nice on the street,easy pedal but as rpm increases so does clamping force. |

Center Force dual friction disc is the only way to go. Don't make the mistake of not using a Center Force dual friction disc . |

Dom, I started out with a center force dual friction, then switched to the ram set-up, may try the turbo-hydro after I get my $h!t togehter....The problem I found with the center force, it engauged way too high for my liking, no matter how I adjusted it!!! |

Mike, are you saying what I think you did? Say it ain't so! Don't put a slushbox in the blue beast.

I agree.  To me there is nothing like the pure violence of slamming gears.  Auto's are so pedestrian

How long did the clutch you have last? I would go simple HD GM with a good flywheel. Mine is still going strong after 100 plus runs with 427cu in in a 4200 lb car. Unless you plan on going to big cu. in. Why over think it? |

Good point hal, theres more to gain with the flywheel than the clutch! I would get a light weight flywheel and find lightest clutch assy! |

True. My point is the last clutch maybe had 50 passes on it and about 20k miles. I can't say the ram clutch setup really lasted that long. I am still going to keep the flywheel which is sfi rated by Ram. But from this board and yellow bullet the consensus is center force or McLeod So I just want to ge the best bang for my buck. I have been having some good progress and just want to keep it going |

I would stay away from a light aluminun flywheel in Dom's case. Not the lightest car with limited torque could be bog city, even with small tires. |

Aluminum I will keep away from since I drive this regularly on the street. Also the fact my flywheel is only 3 years old and is sfi rated. |
