What clutch kits do you recommend for the T5?
Just wondering what a good clutch and pressure plate kit would be for a T5 and mild 350 combo.

McCleod...
they sell one that is almost 11", almost half inch bigger than stock, but fits and works... Im using it and a few other members. Do a search, I posted part numbers In another thread.

That 2900 plate load will be a T5 killer without some slip/engagement delay to smooth things out. You could use a lighter PP load to get a little slip when you dump the clutch, or you could add a little engagement delay with a device like the ClutchTamer

I had a look at Those McLeods, they seem a lot more clutch than I would ever need, and quite expensive. It'll never see a track or racing. I've since discovered the Ram Stage 1. I think that may be more inline for my application. I'd rather a bit of forgiveness in that clutch.
