I have the stage 3 with the billet steel flywheel and its fine after the break in period.

Whay do people with 500HP cars want soft clutches that arent grabby?. Just stop being a bitch and drive the car like you mean it! ;)

My question is why do people want a clutch that holds 500 lbs of torque with a tranny that'll barely hold 300?

Don't waste your money, get a KC for the T-5 and put the other hundred and fifty bucks toward a TKO600 or T-56 IMHO.....

I love my stage II, works great on my H/C/I nitrous car. No dyno yet, but 500 lbs of torque on the shot isn't unrealistic.
 
How is the pedal feel on a stage I and stage II? I am going through deciding to go with Spec and a new flywheel, or maybe a King Cobra. Probably leaning towards the Spec. I don't mean to jack a thread. I just figured since everyone was talking about Spec, that I shouldn't waste a new thread that will repeat a lot of the same info. Thanks.
 
The Spec1 has a fairly soft pedal feel. Softer than the King Cobra thats for sure. But the break in period is what bugs me. I wasnt drivng on the street enough to put miles on the engine. The only thing I was doing was drag racing and burnouts at the track pretty much. So I totally fried it. I do love the King Cobra that I have right now. If you have patience to threat the car properly and break the clutch in the right way, I'm sure the Spec stage1 will do its job fine.

I will get my friend to hook you up for now if you need one.


As for what I paid I had a hook up thru a dealer and my total out the door was $400 for the stage 3 and a billet steel flywheel.


Send me a pm. I would be interested also. I have been looking to get a stg. 3 with a pressure plate. Do they have TO bearings also? How much for the flywheel? Otherwise I'd pay like $50 to get mine resurfaced.

I thought I'd look into Kustom and McLeod also...???..???..
 
intresting.... so lets say i needed to get a tune asap after getting this engine back together....maybe a new clutch at this time isnt the greatest idea?
i am not doing the head gaskets on this car again....

Yeah, tell me about it. My turbo should be done it about a week or two and I still have a stock clutch. I plan on driving it 500 miles before the dyno tune, then take it easy (burnouts etc..) for about another 500 miles.
