Boss Clutch on GT?

[StangLoveR]

I'm going to need to replace my clutch soon and am considering going to the Boss clutch. I've read on here that the Boss clutches can handle a considerable amount of power, but also saw that the pressure plate is bolted on to the flywheel using 9 bolts instead of the GT's 6.

I haven't been able to determine if the GT flywheel has provisions for 9 bolts for purposes of accepting a clutch such as that of the Boss.

I know someone on here knows the answer!

Also, the car sees a lot of open track time and is making in the neighborhood of 500 to the wheels. I know the Boss clutches have been handling near the ~1,000 horsepower range so my power level is not a significant concern in that regard, but I am wondering how the clutch will handle ~500 hp on a racetrack. Thoughts?

Thanks!

Don't have the answer for you but if it does have the provisions on the flywheel along with the GT bolt pattern they should be the same part #. (Boos and GT) Maybe a local Ford dealer could tell you?

You need the boss flywheel as well

Indeed - did some digging and found pics of both...sure do need the boss flywheel. Now I need to figure out if I want to go the boss route for flywheel/clutch, or step up to a different clutch/flywheel for my application. HMM.

Thanks guys.
