need clutch ideas

Post by turbojeeper »

I am currently running a centerforce dual friction clutch. Been on the truck for roughly 5 years. Its now starting to slip on launched and gear change at the strip. Need advice for a heavier clutch. I'm at 400ft/lbs of torque now and will be increasing that soon. What do you all think I should go with next?

I've had good results with the OE "SACH'S" clutches on the six's, on my AMC V8 I run a McLeod 10 1/2" "Borg&Beck" with six roller assist.

Yea I was over thinking it. My clutch engages at the rop of my pedal throw and I have a bad habbit of resting my left foot on the pedal. Plus when I launched it on the street it was right after going through a large puddle and I have no inspection cover. I have been to the track twice since with no issues and 1.8 60 ft times
