[QUOTE="biminiLX, post: 15775914, member: 7795"] So I've removed the Magnum XL trans and Spec clutch and will be changing clutches also. Had some phone issues and lost all pics from PRI and the trans removal but I'll reshoot them soon to show you the Spec clutch differences (have an SS trim in car and ST trim rebuild kit, big difference in friction discs). For guys around 750rwhp and willing to run gears, I can't argue with the stock clutch. Mine ran several 10s passes with 3.73s-4.10s at 750rwhp and still looked new. I'm working with a few options now, but one is through a former IHRA Pro Stock guy who consults with many of the clutch makers. That option is a rebuildable Ram billet twin with custom discs designed to perform for my street/strip goals. Another option is a new Exedy unit; my good friend works at Exedy and is taking some measurements from the Magnum trans and stock clutch to see if he can improve on their current offerings for S197s. Last is an Australian company coming into the US market with some cool ideas. Long story short is there isn't a perfect clutch out there, like most auto applications there are compromises and you have to choose based on your goals. Stay tuned. -J [/QUOTE]
