best clutch for supercharged SHO ?

[RStalveyARFF]

transmission is the same, but 89 and 90 used a 9.25" flywheel. Most cars have been upgraded to the 9.75" either by recall or by the owner but there are still a few floating around with the 9.25" FW's.

Everything... The centerforce never seemed to work quite right on the SHOs especially when combined with lighter flywheels.

The Clutchmasters Stage III setup uses a dual diaphram disc which results in much more clamp load and uses a kevlar disc. It will handle anything you can throw at it and more.

What's a dual diaphragm disc?

After buying a CM stage 1 from midwest I would definitely not recommend clutchmaster's product or this vendor to anyone.

I'm sorry you feel that way. What was the problem?

Pressure plate, thanks for catching that...

Robby, While Josh is using his disc on his car I beleive he is still using a CM DD pressure plate.

Can you still use the CM St.3 for a regular go to work everyday comute type driving?
By the way i just like to add that for the last four or so months i have being using MidwestSho for some upgrades and some general maintanance supplier and i am very satify with their service keep the good work

Don't plan on using the CM stg3 for an everyday commute in stop and go traffic. The CM stg3 is a great clutch but it is not very streetable, especially when paired with a light weight flywheel.

The CM stg 3 is very aggressive and has very heavy pedal pressure. It is however unmatched for holding power in a street type clutch.

The SPEC stg 3 has quick engagement but a light pedal (A bit more streetable), and is grippy enough for most FI SHOs.

I suspect that Doug's DD PP with the organic disk will be more streetable than the CM stg 3, but have a heavier pedal than a pucked disk such as the SPEC.

Depends on what you like and can handle. Like I said, I've never used this clutch, but some people say yes and some say no.

I would be hesitant to run a Stage III on a daily driver just for comfort issues. The Stage III clutch is in my opinion, and past experience, the best clutch you can get for the SHO. It will take everything you can give to it and offer an acceptable lifespan.

With respect to a high power daily driver you might try contacting Doug and seeing if his offerings work.

The CM Stage 3, I've found to be perfectly streetable. I drove a car equipped with the Stage 3 and a Fidanza, and had no trouble driving it normally. It does have a heavy pedal and is fairly grabby, but many high performance clutches are. Paired with a stock flywheel it would be a very easy to drive clutch. Engagement is quick but not abrupt, and because the lining is only windowed, engagement seems to stay fairly smooth.

The Spec IV (4 puck unspring), while it had a much lighter pedal, was much less streetable and had a LOT of chatter when trying to take off. It was much harder to drive with any degree of smoothness, and I would not want to get stuck in traffic with it.

Hey Chris what type of clutch do you have on your car?
