Melon's 400hp build or bust thread
Nice! I even plugged silencer holes to make it a bit louder. Lol
Nice thing about my clutch is that I live across the street from where I work and like 5 miles from school so won't really abuse it too much since its all normal streets. But come highway time.... Lol
As far as clutch I'm up in the sir mostly between clutch masters and SPEC with ky lingering as well. I'm not making my decision based on price but more reliablility, tq rating, reputation, amount of chatter, and how close to stock feel it would b. Feel free to chime in with experiences u guys have with these clutches regarding the above criteria

ok so not that i am disagreeing with u guys. but i have to ask, y? i'd like to be around 360 tq but may look into going bigger eventually and don't want to be worrying about swapping clutches constantly
zrated was running his after his build without a problem and I think it was launching it at or around 7k at the track...
Also you said something about stock feel... well this is as close as it gets
The best part is save some monies

i know his car was a monster for being SC'd. i'm curious tho as to what kind of numbers he was putting down. i am by no means opposed to this clutch. and again i'm not really concerned about money too much as from now on anything i do to my car will come out of the carbon fiber work. just don't wanna regret it or be replacing the clutch a year or 2 later. i don't beat on my car a lot but when i have the space i open her up and have as much fun driving it as i can
what would i be around then? i was just figuring based on some dynos i have seen the SC runs about 10% less tq that it does hp. so i just did math of 400 - 10% (40)= 360. lol i'm sure its not perfect but just trying to get an idea of where i would be and what i would need to do to support it

There are guys in the 400+whp range on the gmpp without issue
It is the best bang for your buck clutch, period.
I dunno why your so insistent on 400whp. The mp90 is in the high 30 to low 40% efficiency range at the psi you wanna run, at the rpm you plan to spin to.

listen melon head your building something that is high performance you can put some big dick daddy **** star clutch in it and it can take a **** 4 months later there is no guarantee on what you put in it for longevity period my advice is to be wise and choose the best bang for the buck spent and as for cams get the stage3 cams or go custom

400 is just a goal i set. whether its chp or whp i'm sure i will be happy either way. rather than just build for the sake of building 400 was a personal goal i had set and am gonna try my best to achieve it. whether its on this set up w/ stock block, this set up w/built block, or a new SC set up. just want to have a 400 hp SC car since u don't see too many of those around
i know that its not a guarantee. but thats one of the reasons i haven't decided on a clutch yet. i am watching the reviews and wanting to hear more about each of them. since i'm not real keen on clutches i wanna hear wut kind of levels people are getting away with on which clutch and for how long. nothing is certain but i can get a good enough idea if enough people chime in. as far as going stage 3. i do mostly city driving. stage 3 would just be too much for me. i think stage 2 will put me right where i would like to be.

i know. getting traction is gonna be another animal. i plan to do yyz springs with koni yellows, some direzza star spec tires, powell rotated mounts, upper engine mount (not sure company) and ingalls. and obviously those sexy tow hooks. lol
GDS
either way its gonna be quite a step up from where i'm at now. i'm gonna stick with stage 2 for now and if down the line it ends up feeling flat to me then i will upgrade to the stage 3's
