Guy from howell said it will be perfectly fine to daily drive on and perfect for racing on for about 16psi boosting.
couple real quick questions though before I order the SPEC 3 modular ....
*whats the advantages of going with the modular type clutch (i would obviously need the Mopar conversion kit) ?
*i will be okay using the steel flywheel insetad of an aluminum flywheel since i dont really have the extra $$$ for an upgraded aluminum flywheel ?
*why does it say it will have light chatter ?
*should I trust this guy's word from howell about using this clutch ?
lol .... help asap would be nice guys, thanks, i wanna order this monday so help me out fella's. thanks in advance!
I suppose, though, I can't really walk away from this post without any kind of a positive exchange of information. I'll try to take it slow, though, so you can understand.
By the way, I would love to see you try to keep the car running at 16 PSI for more then one oil change, but that is neither here nor there.
For your clutch, you seem to be sure of what you are going to get, so why are you just now getting opinions? Seems that you would want to collect opinions before making a decision, but that would be rational and intelligent, but then again, neither acronym would describe you, right?
What are the advantages of going with a modular clutch? Gee, I don't know... you already fucking have one, so you tell me! The advantage is that anybody with at least the intellect of a bowl of ape piss can install it. There are 4 bolts holding the clutch/flywheel to the flexplate, just like you already have. So no, Einstein, you don't need a conversion kit. The disadvantage of a modular setup is cost. It is more expensive to replace a modular clutch when you melt it in 5K miles.
A steel flywheel will be fine. What do you think you have now, bronze? Stone? The rocks are in the head, buddy. There is no need for a luxury like an aluminium flywheel. Some people really like the slow revs and the parasitic loss. Get an overdrive crank pulley made out of lead, too, while you're at it.
And a ceramic clutch will make a chattering noise from a dead stop. It doesn't like to slip, so it will hop a bit. Makes a really cool noise that makes you want to drive your car off of a cliff. (Subliminal message: drive your car off a cliff)
Lastly, as for whether or not you want to trust this guy's word on the Spec, that is entirely up to you. I would recommend searching and reading the following glowing recommendations:
