Re: clutch kit suggestion

I meant, why not just go with another 2600 if it worked well for you. A 2900 at 300hp is a little overkill I'd think.

I'm pretty sure the 2900's were not much more than the 2600's. If that is the case then why not just get the tougher clutch? Yea a 2600 would be fine for 300whp, but wouldn't a 2900 last longer under the same conditions?

Brian, I don't know how you drive, but I got a good 20,000 miles out of my 2600/street disc on my 430whp car I beat on daily.

Re: clutch kit suggestion

For the most part I baby the heck outa my car. Sure I've launched a few times, but I'm no ricer kid that does it at every stoplight haha. This clutch was in the car when I bought it. Kracka could tell you more about the guy that owned it before me, but my impression was that he half-assed stuff and didn't treat the car very well. I've owned the car for about 3 years now and I know for a fact the clutch is starting to go. Honestly, I don't know how long the clutch has been in or how many miles are on it. I just guessed around 4 years.

I've ruled out puck clutches for a dd after doing a little more reading about them. I may just stick with my 2600 unless I find a better deal.
