The right clutch for harrop blower

So ive found some Fidanza flywheels dirt cheap and im looking for a clutch with street feel and has some extra clamping force, something that can take 300ft lbs or so

Get the Exedy Hypersingle and forget the Fidanza and other clutches! Exedy > all others IMO. After the ClutchMasters Fiasco I went through, and the stories from other ones, Exedy straight out beats the competition. Clutch and flywheel for $1100 is a good deal to me. Make sure you replace the slave cylinder while you're at it or It Will Fail!

replacing the slave cylinder, that sounds like real fun, is it just the slave cylinder that needs replaced any other parts ? or is it like a kit

I'm prob not going to install this I'll likely have intense do it since i know they do that

The slave cylinder is easy to replace. It is inside the tranny, is held on by three bolts, and has one brake fluid line going to it. Takes like two minutes to do while you're in there. My buddy calls it "the squishy toy" since I gave one of the many to him and he uses it at works like the stress relief ***** you can buy.

use an OEM slave cylinder. i used the one that came with my kit, and it was total ****. now i'm taking it all back apart to put in a genuine part.

Rodimus listen to all the good advice, and plan before you leap buddy! FYI if you rev more than 7000 you will need to install better valve springs which is a lot of work and replace the hydraulic tensioner with a modified mechanically adjustable one...IMHO you are best to use no more than 7k, and contact guys like alpha jaguar 5 and italianjoe for advice...and a plan....

I've had good luck with the spec stage 3+ clutch, it holds hard, haven't taken my car very far hp wise, but its suprisingly streetable with great quick sporty grip and supposed to hold around 500 ftlbs of tq.
