I just got my new clutch in and figured all you stick guys would appreciate the unit. I am getting closer to getting the car out. My plan is to atleast make some shake down passes this year.

I hear their clutches are awesome.Expensive but good.Rocky

If you are looking for a heavy duty steet/race unit they are very competitively priced. I use street very very loosely because most people who run on the street would see this as overkill unless you were serious about not junking parts on a high horsepower street/strip car.

I looked at Advance, Tim Hyatt and McCloud. All of them make some nice clutches. My engine builder has used McCloud forever. Boninfante was not the highest priced supplier out there.

I talked to a lot of guys racing 4 speeds with bigger cars and and the guys who were running Boninfante said they were very happy with the durability of the unit. The guys at Texas Thunder have had a lot of success running the Boninfante unit and Mike Loboda uses one in his pro stock duster. I am not going class racing so every little tenth is not a big concern for me. My deciding factor was durability and adjustibility.

When the president of the company gives you his personal cell phone number and says call me anytime you need anything. That to me tells you about the way he feels about customer service.

Yeah my Buddy at Texas Thunder has it in the 65 Coronet.He launches with what 14 inch slicks.Rocky

That is soo cool......I don't even know what I'm looking at!

I guess its an adjustible multi disc unit.

What kind of Discs?
What kind of HP is it going behind
What kind of Trans?

I guess this clutch is designed to "slip" at launch.

What is the disc material? Is it supposed to slip?

I've got a RST Mcloud dual 9.75ish" disks with organic face. Super streetable and doesn't slip a bit. I will rely on a bit of tire spin to keep from bogging / breaking.

Nice unit Greg
Can you upgrade to a dual disc setup with just new stands and a floater when you need to? I didn't think that unit would fit in a standard bell.

It is a six finger single disk slipper style clutch. It has a 130 tooth flywheel and will fit into a Lakewood bellhousing. The ad below says it would fit into a stock style housing. Personally if you are making that much horsepower I would want an SFI approved bellhousing anyway. It can be expanded to a dual disk clutch. $1950.00 out the door and into your car. Here is an ad for the clutch. Sorry it is in chevy Max online magazine.
Boninfante Clutch Ad

I just thought you might have to get a Browell or Trick Titainium to fit that size hat inside.Did you see the new proposed window design that Tim Hyatt submitted to Lakewood? It is posted over on www.umtrnorth.com in the tech section.It will make adjustments and weight changes alot easier
Gus

I saw Tim Hyatt's thread on the bellhousing window. It is really needed and the bellhousing still would be safe.

Yeah when you look at the size of the hole where the fork comes through why cant you put a safer one somewhere else
Gus

Greg, you're gonna love that Boninfante unit.
He makes a great product and you'll NEVER break it- believe me, I've tried !

D A M N!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats sweet Greg

Dave in Texas is runnign that with a Jerico behind a 572,He has never had a clutch problem.Rocky

Ok, without going into great detail, why would you spend that kind of money for a clutch set up for a street car? a good performance clutch would last for years. Besides no one can see the bling anyways.
