I hate Ray Crowe. Clutch questions?
I'm sure that I got some attention from that title. I hate him for that fact that each time he has one of these sales, I spend an *** load of $$$$. This time around, new engine harness, bunch of gaskets, fuel lines, coolant kit, and possible clutch.
My car is currently engine less at this time and I'm getting a Pettit Racing street ported motor very soon. I will have to keep mods as low emission as possible since I live here in C.A.
And they are: Street port, PFC, 550/1300cc injectors, FMIC, PFS d/p, hi flo main cat, R/B duel, stock twins possible 99 specs, and twin power ignition.
Well, so much of my quest for ULEV.
This bring me back to my post. How much power will the OEM clutch handle? 300-400hp?
My car currently has 72K on a stock clutch and it's been able to handle up to 15psi pull on 3rd and 4th gear with no slippage. I've never dyno my car and can't tell you how much power it was putting out. I really like the stock engagement/peddle pressure and would like to keep it drivable. I'm not interested in drag racing, just some autocrossing and track time a Willow Springs. Since Ray has a sale on stock clutch for $200, that a hell of a deal.
Secondly, have anyone of you guys used Pineapple Racing LIM/UIM gaskets? It states that it is made of some fiber material? Will it las as long as the OEM ones.

my stock clutch started slipping at around 75k miles, and then car was still stock. was just worn out.
ACT street/strip setup is by far the best clutch. Many will agree.
