I just bought a new project car,and I am trying to decide which clutch kit would be best for street and occasional auto cross and circle track,or road course use. The car is a 70 Charger body on a modern Loughlin style Nascar chassis, with a Daytona aero kit on it. The car will be powered by a 472 Hemi with approximately 750 horsepower and a Tremic 5 speed, with a full floating 9 inch rear axle. The Tremic transmission has a Lakewood blowshield with the block protector plate and Kieslers hydraulic clutch throw out bearing kit. Any help with selecting the correct clutch kit would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Pete.

Pete-
How much did you have to pay for that thing?
I think there are better transmissions available for your build. But if you must stick with the tko, call pro motion powertrain in Florida. They've built tko's that stand up to 800+ hp, sell a 'brace' for the case (which cracks in high torque applications), and will spec a clutch to reduce the shock the trans experiences which in turn will help the transmission last as long as possible.

I bought this car from a Moparts member who just wanted out of the project. He was really beyond fair with me on it. I would say that I paid about a quarter of what is invested in it. The Tremic TKO came with the car. I will look into Pro Motion Powertrain. Thanks for the information. I may end up using the TKO in my other 70 Charger R/T that will have a more street friendly Hemi in it.

Few more options would be Jerico or Gforce and mcleod for your clutch set up. I would get maybe a street twin or a rag style clutch you can adjust the pressure on when street driving and then a race set up easy adjustment.
