What are you guys running for clutches in the same HP range as me??

My clutch just won't hold, it burns halfway down the track. I've tried the basic s/r clutches from autozone. They worked ok when I wasn't running a blower..

I'm not even sure if there is a clutch made for a T5 that will handle that kind of power. Maybe a Centerforce? I'm surprised that the tranny is holding up behind that much power. I'm willing to bet if you did get a clutch that wouldn't slip, you would end up killing that T5 on your 1-2 or 2-3 shift.

 

Hi Anesthes,
You'll need to upgrade to a larger disc, pressure plate. There are many styles of clutches. 500 HP is no problem if you follow the rules. It's the clutch you're using. If you have any questions e-mail me @ <mike@fortesparts.com>.

Are you Mike Forte from "fortey's parts connection" ??

Lemme know, I've looked at RAM, Hays, etc. and they recommend not using hydraulic clutch linkage. WHich is all new, so I don't feel like ripping it out and putting in a Z bar.
