Hey guys!
Need some help deciding what to do regarding a clutch.
I'm building an ls/vtec with a jackson racing supercharger.
The build is going to make 280whp-300whp and 210-215 lbs of torque. This is setup is going to be my daily driver and weekend drag racer.
For the strip I will be adding 100shot so torque should be at 280 lbs.
I currently have an exedy stage 1 and I love the feel of it (stiffer than stock)
After doing some research I've come up with 3 companies that I'm thinking of using:
-ACT: HDR6 solid or HDG6 sprung
-Clutch Masters: Stage 3 or Stage 4
-Competition Clutch: Stage 3 or Stage 4
My opinions:
-The price for the ACT is decent but I've read so many horror stories about ACT that I'm really starting to get worried.
I don't want to screw up my whole setup or have to worry about the clutch failing on me.
-Clutch Masters only found 2 bad stories about it but the price seems abit high. I will have to check to see what prices I can get on these clutches.
-Competition Clutch found a few bad stories but nothing compared to ACT. Alot more good stories and peolpe beeing happy with it and it's price is decent.
Just to let you guys know, I'll probably be using the same flywheel as the clutch.
So what company do you guys use, suggest, prefer?
Also let me know which model you suggest for my setup
