Bill,

There are less expensive options that will work behind your 408. Keep in mind though that as horsepower containment goes up, engagement smoothness goes down. I have some Powergrip HD clutches from RAM that will hold 650hp and more. They will even hold a 7.50 1/8th mile car leaving on slicks with a 1.55 60-foot time. However, if you have anything less than a 3.73 gear, there is a possibility that you experience chatter. Ernie (Excalibur) here on Club Cobra runs one and I've driven some street/strip cars that ran them and they were smooth. However, I always have to give that little disclaimer.

The RAM Powergrip HD clutch kit would a little under $500, with the cost depending on which throw out bearing needs to be used with your particular combination.

The McLeod RST twin disc that is in this thread is $699 plus the throw out bearing.

It does not have a flywheel with it, so you can use your existing flywheel without rebalancing. If you wished, you could always have the pressure plate checked for balance at your local machine shop.


Joseph....yes. But why would you want to change just a few weeks after you got the new parts?
