What clutch for 600 or so horsepower

[muztangman93]

What clutch should I go with 06 mustang should be around 600 to 650 horsepower and need a clutch to handle the power.

All I have had is a stage 3+ spec clutch. It will hold that no problem, but many have issues with the drivability on it. I never had such problems.

Ram Powergrip HD. My car made 734whp and ran 9.90's @ 141 and I couldn't hurt the thing.

specstage3clutchkit Would this be a good kit to go with.

IMO, Spec clutches suck.

I approve of these messages.

I really like my RST. I've had one with a 3650 and have one now with a 6060. Drives pretty close to stock and holds power.

You might want to think about a transmission upgrade if you are still on the 3650.

I've had good luck with Spec clutches, I don't drag the car though.

I'm running a RST now and love it!

the McLeod appears to be $900 right now Im strapped for cash. Im debating on just selling the motor and waiting another year. It sucks to have a 5k motor sitting here but not have the money to buy the other parts to do the install .

Are you keeping the 4.10's?

With deeper gears like that you really don't need a crazy clutch. I've had OEM clutches last well into the 600's rwh, and 10 sec timeslips with 4.10's and 4.30's.

I like my SPEC 3+, but am probably gonna upgrade the input shaft.

Don't use aggressive clutch, let the clutch be your stock tranny fuse, use exedy Mach 500, McLeod dual friction or ram powergrip HD

I ran a Spec 3 clutch for about 40k. Replaced it with an Exedy 500. So far, the Exedy is worlds better than the Spec. Much more driver friendly. Dont get me wrong, I could drive the Spec just fine, but I enjoy driving the car more now with the Exedy.

Have had absolutely no Problem(s) with my Spec Super Twin Disk Clutch with Aluminum Flywheel

I have 500+ rwhp on my 06 with a spec stage 3+ and I love it. Little rough in 1st sometimes. And the sweet spot is damn hard to find lol

 

[StangPhD]

My ram twin street clutch shredded and I replaced it with a mcleod rxt. I am at the range in hp you are shooting for.

 

[Lupo222]

can i ask what set up you have that you are anticipating 650whp in a 3v???

 

[muztangman93]

Well I have a dss 5.0 stroker motor. Stage 2 bbr cams bbk throttle body pipes off road hpipe pipes long tube headers meth injection d1 procharger ford racing intake manifold probably some other stuff I cant remember. Right now Im on the stock internals and the car made 502 to the wheels at 10psi. The tuner said it had more in it but it would blow a hole in the side of the engine. I figure if I upped the boost to 15psi and with the cams it should give me another 100 horse I would think. Later I may do a set of heads as well.

 

[muztangman93]

My stock clutch seems to handle the 500 horse pretty easily.
