clutch recomendations?

[Tom keedle]

290/3.44 1 st gear 4speed american, alum f'wheel,4.57 gears,8.5 slicks, around 3200lbs w/ me in it
anybody recommend a single disc+pp?
flywheel is drilled for borg&beck or diaphram.
USED to be a long style that was made with b&b bolt pattern but if there is now, i ain't finding it...

you will have to do some research on what will fit ,,,for that ,,,is the trans a amc t-10 or a gm t-10(info from previous post),,thats a real low first gear for that trans ,,i would say if your presure plate is drilled for a borg & beck check out a ram adjustable plate and a sintered iron disc ,,more than likely you may not need a ton of base presure ,,you will have to tread lightly if you are using stock type transmissions Gmonde

Then please, be specific with your questions. If you can't or won't afford the best parts available for the quickest ET possible, then say so.
Autozone or Checker Auto has rebuilt clutches that are more affordable. They may not last, they probably aren't fast, but it will get you through the pits.

don't be a dick and I won't be...
thought i WAS specific, what more do you want to know?
i'm not gonna be running in the upper classes of stock OR superstock nor do i have stock in ACT clutches

gmonde is on the same plane as me, i think or at least is more realistic.
last i checked,ACT didn't have anything i could use (AMC)but i could be wrong...


besides, i could run a LUK if it had the sfi sticker on it...
maybe impact has a few they'd sell me....


btw,seems like the only way i'd have to worry about a heads-up race is if i'd build 2 cars...
way too many autos out there..

hope this helps

how do you like the iron plate?
THAT's what i'm trying to decide on anyway...
that and how many "pads"...
i AM leaning toward the B&B Ram adjustable (think it's like 2200# to 2500#)...

no pads!!!!!! solid disc you need to have slipage Gmonde
