Clutch Opinions

I know whatever the rating is of the PP add 100tq onto it if you get a pucked disk..

I'm in the same boat as Brandon. My 2600/street disc slips at the strip, and slips in fifth on the highway at WOT. I have an old, but brand new 2900 I was considering until I just read you guys stating that they redesigned something or another.. Can you expand on that? Wondering if I should consider using or not. Was also considering just trying a 6 puck with the current 2600 PP.

I like my competition clutch stage 4. I have about 3k miles of very hard street driving on it and on trip to the track with 11 passes on it. Its held up great to the abuse and it was super cheap. Granted you make close to 100 tq/hp more than me I don't know if you can compare much, but I figured one more opinion never hurt.

I might be able to vouch for the lighter pedal on the 2900. I just got my car back together and it seems to me as if it has less force to put into it than my 2600 did.

The Comp Stage 4 or more or less equivalent to his Fidanza 4.3. Great clutch, but 2 years of use + Brandon's power was just too much for it I guess :(

Im going to ignore what you've said and say GET A TWIN!

Way back when shane ran his 10 i think he was running an AMS twindisc if memory serves.

Forgot about that, I think you are right.


But I agree with Brandon.. No wanty a twin.

The iron clutches are a bit tricky to drive on the street but if you get off it quickly you should have no welding problems. Unfortunately at the power level you are at, you will be pushing the limits on any single disc setup. You just don't have enough clutch diameter to harness the torque without having to give in pedal pressure (substantially) or longevity/driveability.

My opinion on sprung versus unsprung: If you drive it on the street more than the track, get sprung. If you drive it at the track more than the street, get unsprung. I've driven Jim's Evo on the street who had an unsprung clutch at the time and that was enough for me to decide that I'd never get an unsprung clutch for a street car.

It might be fine for you since yours is a weekend warrior, but at least drive such a car so you know what you'd be dealing with every time you sit in the seat if you haven't already.
