Actually the gentlemen that built the clutch said it would squeal a bit on the street and it was nothing to worry about. And it did it well before I ever put power to it. And it is like stepping on oatmeal, if you serve your oatmeal frozen. up

Its the only clutch that would hold up. I went through 3 other setups. Only thing is it's, how do I say, grabby. If I'm not careful leaving a stoplight my car will launch 1/2 way through the intersection. Luckily the BB has enough torque to not stall if I release the clutch with very little throttle cause you can't really slip this clutch.

I'm very satisfied with it but I wouldn't throw the keys to just anyone to drive it smile



Are you using organic or miba lining?

I ran an organic street twin in a 9 second car years back and it was really smooth on the street. Would slip it at the track at 5k rpm no problem.

What about 4-10 gears, all other specs the same other than being a Hemi? Going down this road soon.
Sorry to hijack.

I am kinda in the same boat. Not sure what flywheel to run or clutch. I have a 500 inch making about 600 hp. 3700 pound car with 3.54 gears and a 18 spline trans. Mostly street driving with a few trips to the track. It has drag radials on it and cal tracks springs and bars.

I am using the Mcleod Borg and Beck 3 finger. Mcleod doesn't make the pressure plate anymore(360153). I have a used pressure plate that Mcleod rebuilt and will be installing it next month. Passon Perf and Brewers sells Ram clutch kits. Both of them have had no issues with them so far.

Is that the Borg & Beck plate and cover with the Ford Lever? If so, that's a good set up if you make it adjustable.

Just because you think it won't make it true. Horsepower is KING. To dispute this is stupid. C. Alston
