Ditto.

Drives like stock. Handles I belive up to 350HP reliably. I bought mine from PTP. Not sure if he still sells southbend but I believe he still offers a discount on install if you buy the clutch from him. Also no 4+ hour wait like most shops he gets them done in like two hours. probably half that time but I was trying to help.

I believe Real Tune sells and recommends the Southbend as well.

Good, cheap and not stock.... I don't think that is possible. We can do $899 for a clutch but your going to need TOB fork arm, slave cyl and instalation. We offer installed packages for $1199 and this is getting rid of the modular design and going with a true 3 piece set up with a 4140 moly flywheel. This clutch will support up to 550 WTQ easy with the potential holding power being closer to 700 WTQ. These are also set up to run higher RPM's with out the worry of shifter lock out. Let me know if you want to go this way or stick with the modular set up.

Thanks.

The street disk is not bad but will not take any kind of track abuse. 6 puck again a good clutch but seems to slip around 500 WTQ on slicks.

I think he said good clutch, Spec has a horrible reputation with the SRT4's.

Fixed it for you, they install can be tricky with some cars but that is about the turn around time if all goes smooth. We are going to be taking a look at doing a GB here very soon.

Agreed, they are not bad for daily driver, but when you start to ask to much of them they will give you some issues with holding.

I ordered a Southbend stage 3 from Realtune. Comes with a TOB. Install was easy (as easy as a clutch install can be

) and it has handled everything I have thrown at it. Drives like stock as Zane stated and hasn't slipped once. Last dyno I did was approx. 340 whp and 409 tq @ 18psi. I have since been running at 26 psi, race gas, and HOM and the clutch has handled all the tq I could throw at it. Not sure how much tq that is but I feel confident that it is over 450 and probably closer to 500 (just a guess). For under $600 shipped you really can't go wrong.

I would also like to add though that a lot of locals have had issues with this clutch, mostly being vibration. Pretty sure SBC has corrected the problem, but you should be aware anyways.

I have a southbend stage 3 clutch used for 2000 miles. Never raced with and I drive like a girl. It had the vibrations that went along with the first gen bolts. I just got it back from Southbend where they replaced bolts and checked balance and called it good to go.

Your or anyones for $300 shipped.

maperformance · 08-28-2009, 03:27 PM

We have the ACT in stock ready to rock... One of the best clutches on the market if you ask me.
