Uprated clutch or oe clutch??

Post by turbo965 » Mon Sep 21, 2009 12:38 am

Anyone have any thoughts or reccomendations contact details of suppliers etc please, my car is running approx 430hp mrc map.

if i were you, i'd replace the OEM clutch with a non-SAC (self adjusting) one.
SouthBend (http://www.dxdracingclutches.com/) sells a full faced kevlar clutch with a SACless SACHS pressure plate.
