MR 9 best clutch for high hp? dailydriven
I have 380 whp and 395 tourqe right now but next week 40r kit gets put on and Im curious to see what doyou guys think I drive alot I meannnnn alot maybe over 1000 miles a week
It currently has a ACT Street Clutch
I like the act but Im use to my honda days w/ a 4puck clutch I want a better clutch then the ACT
what doyou guys recommend? something I would have to worry about and something for daily driving I dont care if it takes a little getting use too. Im just that type of person that doesnt want to have to think about the clutch one bit... I slipped my act really bad the other day by accident pull out to a road cause the car was rolling a little faster than I thought and pulled out anyways and for me to get the power I needed I ended up slippin the hell out of the clutch and you could smell it for like 20minutes after words .....
what can I go with that willl last and I can drive 1000 miles a week on no problem.

Please DON'T buy anything with carbon discs unless it's a drag race car, always. The biggest issue is with heat. Carbon discs need a ton of heat to operate properly and in most daily driven applications you won't have the opportunity to heat the discs properly each time. That being said, you will wear the discs out abnormally fast. Stay with Cerametallic discs, they are very grippy and will last a while.

If you drag race w/ a carbon clutch it will not last long.
A 40r in a daily driver !!! I have a stroker and still think the 3076r feel kinda laggy w/ it.
You may have to rethink your choice of turbo just my .02

So unless you dump your clutch at 6000-7000rpm at every stop light / stop sign drag racing style the clutch does not need to get heated.

Ive run a carbon clutch for three years now almost, with over 50k on the clutch it self and as many hard launches as I can remember. just the same, you are correct, the carbon clutches need the heat....however, for every day use it is NOT an issue.
The only thing to remember before using a carbon clutch to its full potential is to ensure that it has enough heat....not a tremendous amount by any consideration.
An aborted launch, at around 4500-5000, slipping the clutch will do it just fine. Do that before you launch it hard and it'll be good.
On the other hand, I agree with Darin 100% when it comes to the Tilton. IMO, there isn't a better engineered clutch for the money the cerametallic costs.
Noisey, but quite the unit.
