400+ rwhp, what clutch for a daily driver? rush hour traffic
I just picked up my brand new GT yesterday afternoon =)!! Less than 4 hours old... had my friend install my first mod (Hurst short throw shifter - LOVE it!).
Anyway, I will be ordering some suspension upgrades (Need recommendations on suspension too), exhaust (Need recommendation here too... I don't want too loud, just a nice rumble), and a whipple supercharger. Anyway, I imaging I will be at 450+ rwhp after the supercharger goes in and imagine the clutch may have to be replaced in the future. Are there any clutch brands or recommendations you guys have that would support the HP I will be making, but also be good as a daily driver? I do have about 25 miles of rush hour traffic in the mornings on the way to work, so I don't want it too stiff that i'll get wore out for constant changing between 1st and 2nd. Also, I just plan to have my car as a street vehicle for the most part... don't really plan on drag racing very much... maybe a few times, but just for fun. Also if you could recommend any suspension packs that are good for a daily driver as well and exhaust that would be great. Other items I'm having installed in a couple days are 18x10 wheels in the back and 18x9's in the front with 275/40/18 and 255/40/18 Toyo TR1's. |

I talked to a very good tuner that installs about 5-10 mustang superchargers a week and he said that with the whipple kit your clutch WILL go out in around 4 months, he recommended a good stage III clutch and that should last a long time...

I've changed tranny now...but when car was stock 5 speed, it had spec3+ clutch. I don't do as much city stop and go driving as it sounds you will, but the clutch was heavy underfoot and I had to wear shoes with a good solid sole to avoid discomfort with repeated clutch use in traffic. Now I just use the clutch to start the car, the shifts are clutchless.

If you check out the Fidanza website they have a cool video describing the different types of clutches and materials. I found it extremely informative. You should give it a look before you make a purchase.
