I put a warmed up 383 in my 70 Road Runner.
Putting out about 400 HP @ the flywheel. I replaced the flywheel with a new Billet steel unit. The clutch disc and pressure plate were installed new back in 2006, 10.95 dia. stock... I reused this clutch set up but now I am getting slippage during gear changes. I am looking for a good pressure plate and disc (10.95) that will handle the upgrade without breaking the bank. Ram makes a muscle car kit,30% more clamping power over stock, and a power grip, 80% over stock... Any advice on what will work best.

Talk to Jamie @ Passon.
I would suggest a McCleod B&B and kevlar disc...

I would probably go Centerforce Dual Friction. I would absolutely stay away from Zoom stuff.

McLeod makes a good clutch. Assuming your trans is 23 spline:

http://www.brewersperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MC1023

http://www.brewersperformance.com/proddetail.asp?prod=MCP1023

Either one of these are available with a diaphragm style pressure plate (Like Centerforce)

I have the exact McLeod ceramic borg & beck setup above and even bought it through Brewers. Fantastic setup for my 425ish HP 440. great price also.


very clever dinner. appetizing food fit neatly into interesting round pie.

I use the same organic/ceramic Mcleod disc and their 360951 Borg&Beck/long pressure plate. If I need to step it up I can either get the more aggressive disc with ceramic on both sides or add counterweight to the pressure plate fingers. or both.

If your looking for the light pedal feel here are the same pkgs with the diaphragm pressure plates. McLeods advantage in the 23 spline version is the 10.875" disc over the Centerforce true 10.5".

No complaints here.




I had two different Zoom set ups fail on two different cars. Neither one had more than 1000 miles on them. One was at the track with slicks, the other was a street crusier. When the Zoom friction material falls off the disk you can read the "Made in Thailand" stamp on the plate.

Replaced the failed Zoom units, one with a Weber and one with a Centerforce. No problems with the non-Zoom stuff. Love the feel of the Centerforce....
