Would a performance clutch make my car FASTER?
My Mazda clutch in my 87 TII is almost in need of changing...I have around 40% left, which is not bad (2 months ago, when I had my engine done). If I was to get like a Stage III Clutchmaster clutch, would it actually make my car faster too?

make it faster... um.. maybe you mean ingage faster? in that case an ACT clutch is a good purchase if you can afford the money.
|
you won't be making any more power, but the power you make will be used more effectively. so in that sense, yes.

Unless a clutch is slipping the gain by a beefier clutch is like not even measurable. Heavier duty clutches are intended for heavier modded drive train's - near worthless investment on a stock application. |
Umm...NO.

You'll be able to launch like a madman, so yes, you will be faster if you think about it as in how fast can you get to one point from a stop. Good investment, now you can add power and not worry about if the clutch will hold up. No were near worthless.

Yes, it makes your car faster; you can engage faster in higher gears. You can have a larger difference in RPM before engaging the clutch, and the clutch will take up more slack.
|
umm it won't make your car faster if you still shift really slow.... regadless of if your clutch will slip or not at higher RPM
|
no HP gains of course but i jus replaced my OEM clutch with an ACT 4 puck, it improved .3 at the track
|
stock OEM clutches are good for about a dozen hard launches in their lifetime.
so after that, an aftermarket clutch will make you MUCH faster. |

Mr. Gadget is correct. In a stock application an upgraded clutch is nearly worthless. |
