[QUOTE="mdoan, post: 16410048, member: 44126"] Thanks for the suggestions guys. Now I just have to decide on a clutch... Mods are a JLT 127mm, VMP Gen 2, 56lb injectors, VMP BAP (x2), and pulleys ranging from 2.4” to 2.8”, though I plan on using the 2.6 as it provides stock belt tension with the metco idler. I had a harmonic balancer and AC clutch bearing go bad with the 2.8” pulley, so I’m thinking belt tension was to blame. I’ve tentatively narrowed down clutch options to a mantic twin disc (not sure on organic vs ceramic), centerforce dyad, or 13/14 Shelby unit. The Xclutch looks nice too but there aren’t any distributors nearby and I want the shop to be able to procure the parts - keeps everyone happy. My hp is around 700, maybe 750 with the 2.4” pulley that I don’t plan on using, but you never know. Anyone know if the 13/14 stocker can handle it? I’ve heard the mantic needs a rebuild around 30k miles for ceramic, which isn’t ideal. I’m VERY easy on clutches - the current stocker isn’t slipping yet - but I’ve read if I only fix the TOB the repair won’t last if I don’t go ahead and do the clutch / slave cylinder also. My main concern is finding a clutch that can handle the power while slipping enough to protect the rest of the stock drivetrain. I’ll pay for a quality clutch and install; I just don’t have the funds to be replacing multiple clutches or drivetrain failures. There are plenty of threads on clutch selection but I still haven’t seen enough to convince me one way or the other. I basically never track the car, just the usual pulls on the street. [/QUOTE]
