What's a good clutch?

rtz · 02-27-2001, 05:27 PM

I had 3.55's and some 10" slicks and a Motorsport clutch. I dumped it at about 5000 and the clutch just slipped instead of the car going forward.

What is a good clutch to get that will hold and last a while in a daily driver?

Or what are some clutches to stay away from?

I purchased a Ram HD Clutch and it works terrific. Its a little more expensive then others, but I believe its worth it.

All of the cars I've put clutches in and another Racing team here uses are Ford Motorsport Heavy Duty. I've seen a car run low 12s with a 1.7 60' time on huge mickey thompson slicks dumping from probably 4500 and he said it wasn't slipping at all. This was with a newly surfaced flywheel and a new clutch. I've also heard the ram clutches are great.
