Being that you have matched the weight of the OEM piece, what are the performance gains or expectations over the OEM piece? I have tracked my car twice and have no issues with the current performance. I am however interested in this piece.Testing to come! This is the RXT1200 version. Will come balanced to the stock clutch and they also weigh the same as the OEM assembly as well.
Running the least amount of clutch to safely handle your power level (tq) is always the best bet. If you're not adding power the stocker should be adequate for quite a while.
Not necessarily disagreeing, but would you care to expand on this? If I'm going to drive extremely aggressively i.e. some weekend drag racing I'd think a more robust clutch would be a good thing. I'm not saying it needs a 1200 HP version, but an 800 HP version might be good.
Everyone will have their opinions on this, however coming from a series of vehicles that tend to have a somewhat "fragile" transmission and speaking with 3 separate transmission builders at length about clutch selection it's merely repeating what all 3 agreed upon and that was wear on the trans, synchro's in particular and usually with higher torque capacity comes different materials that are generally a compromise in driveability. If you plan to add power with forced induction etc, or plan to drag race the car and slip the clutch a lot you will have to make that compromise. Gearing and how this car generates power will likely wear most any clutch if you plan to drag race it as there is not significant low end power and it requires some slip to get it out of the hole, with stickier tires that will only become more apparent. The clutch that comes in the car is not bad at all, it's biggest upgrade from a feel perspective would come from an clutch spring change.
Thanks, now I get your thinking! The more I think about it I should probably be looking at something different for a drag car, and save the GT350.:headbonk:
