Need some input on which clutch and flywheel to use. My Car is an 08 X GSR, it is my DD but I also track it at VIR and may enter a couple auto x events this year. I want a clutch that is good for dd and road racing. I currently have an AMS intake, Buschar 3" cat back, and Cobb AMS Stage 1 93 tune. Thanks for any input.

 

Exedy twin is a really nice clutch. Great pedle feel and grabs hard but not too hard.

 

How much power are you making/plan on making?

 

Not sure how much I'm making on my current set up, never had it on a dyno. Future plans will be in the 350-400 range.

 

You should need a twin disc at that power. My car was dynoed at 395 on a low reading mustang dyno and I got the Exedy Stage 2 HD clutch with ACT Streetlite flywheel and it is holding up great.

 

if you dont want to spend the $1k+ for a twin disc, you could go with a clutchmaster FX300 or FX400, or Spec 3+.

any of those are good and are proven to take 500+ ft-lbs of torque

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

please post a thread or video with someone running 400-500 ft-lbs of torque on this clutch. (not being a dick)

ps I just ordered this clutch, I would love to know how they feel, and the capability of them.

 

ive read a bunch of mixed reviews on the spec stage 3+ clutch, from people who actually have them in theyre car, what do you think? is it a good clutch for a 400 to 450 hp range?

 

I don't know if it is any different from the 8 to the 10, but I have the exedy twin and it has been nothing but good to me. I DD mine as well.

 

I ran a clutchmasters stage 3 on my VIII, was putting out 370hp and 390tq to the wheels. Was great and did many hard launches. Was pleased, would like to try out Spec on my X. What do u think?

 

i have heard a mix bag of replys on spec clutches but the census is that they are kind of ****ty, like the generic form of an exedy but thats just from reading through the forums

 

remeber when dealing with clutches you should be looking at torque ratings...not hp

 

My buddy has an X and tried out the Spec clutch and had nothing but issues with it. Might as well spend the extra $ for a little insurance with the Exedy Twin. To each their own though.

 

I am reading that the spec 3+ holds up to 595ft/lbs. I am currently needing a new clutch, the car is at 500whp with plans to go 600whp. Can anyone vouch for this clutch holding up under these conditions?
