Default CLutch and Flywheel Suggestions Please

Well guys and gals I need some help. I am in the process of going with a turbo application and am going for 350 or more to the wheels. I have seen this done many times and am in the run to see what I can get. Before I get started however I want to get the clutch and flywheel replaced so I have them broken in before the turbo install. What clutch and flywheel application would any of you suggest. I am thinking of a ACT clutch and a Fidanza flywheel. What do you have and what have you heard.

Thanks in advance
Chris

I have been using the Clutchmasters Stage III for a couple of years. I have not had any problems with slipping at 525 hp/330 lb-ft to the wheels even under heavy use at the race track. The clutch has a better engagement than the stock clutch. I am using it with a Spoon flywheel.

I would not have any problem recommending this clutch.

Advantages: not a puck, great feel, retains spring (no chattering), can easily handle 350 hp, long life, works with any flywheel

Disadvantages: price?

Ok,


I got some information to use. Thank you. Mentioned was feel with a full clutch versus a six puck. I haven't driven anything with a six puck or four puck what issues can arrise or what is the real difference in feel.

Thanks

The non-full-face (puck) clutches are like on/off switches...there's no middle ground. They're either fully engaged or not. Full-faced discs are much much easier to drive around town, in traffic, etc.
I like the Exedy Hyper Single unit myself.

i have the clutchmasters stage 4, 4 puck disc and it was hard geting used to driving around. it is like a on/off switch most of the time but ive learned how to slip it and its not so bad anymore. i bought it in hopes that my mike simon motor will hold around 20-22psi. id like to think the clutch could hold it but im not sure. well see when we get there.

A lot of people using a SC have had great results with an ACT PP and OEM disc with Comptech flywheel. Hardtopguy is selling all of this for a great deal on his site. If you think this is not strong enough, I've heard a lot of good things about Exedy clutchs and would suggest their Hyper Single Clutch kit. BulletProof Automotive sells this. Good luck and let us know what you decide to use.
