need clutch reccomendations

jerry455 · 11-05-2008, 10:48 PM

Hello all, this is my first posting here.
My race partner and I are looking to head back to the drag strip next year after a 10 year hiatus.
We've got a 1970 Gran Sport Buick coming together and we got a 455 with 625HP, and Jericho DR4 so far.
Car should weigh about 3700LB with driver.
What should we run for a clutch set-up??
We've been getting some great help at v8buick.com, but nearly everyone is running TH400 there.
Tom Rix suggested getting some input here-
Let's hear it!
Thanks for taking a look,
Jerry

Call Rob Youngblood at advanced clutches. He is a great guy to work with and can build you what you need. He is in Vegas this weekend. Here is his number 208-880-6214.

I second that! FYI, clutches and clutch technology has changed vastly in the last 10+ years. No more sore leg or a trail of broken parts behind that bufford Buick! That's if you go with Advanced at least.
Good luck and have fun!
