Default Made myself do it and spent 300bucks today

Finally picked a Clutch and stuck with it. I bought a Spec stage 2 from Mustangtuning this morning. Hopefully it gets here by the weekend so i can install it and start breaking it in. Then its off to the dyno when its done being broken in. Hoping to hit the 370-380rwhp with my mods.

Yeah its not that the clutch slips. Its just that there isnt much of a off and on point which tells me the clutch material is getting very very low. So its about time i did something about it. Plus mattj your still n/a you should really get some of the bottle on there.

4.6love i could of sworn you had a vortec on your car. Lol i had no idea you were on the bottle aswell.

Stage ones are good no chatter at all because there still an organic mix.
