Should i keep my clucth or put a new one in ???
Wih the new setup i should be close or in the 4 digit.(427/Etp ls7/ysi @ 2.85)
My current clutch is a Spec Super Twin SS-Trim rated at 900 torque capacity.
Clutch kit has less than 3k miles and work prefectly.With the addition of a Tick master the pedal effort has increase quite a bit but nothing too dramatic.
Should i keep it since its has low mileage ?
or
It wont hold the new power and i should buy another one $$$
$$$
Thanks

If it ain't broke....dont fix it.
Some clutch ratings are more conservative than others...and if the current clutch is working great, I'd just leave it there until it does present a problem.
As it seems all too often with clutches, they're a ******* nightmare to get one that does work very well !

Learning moment for me too, but if your torque doesn't hit 4 digits why bother? Seems up in that power range torque trails hp by a hundo or 2 does it not?

I really dont understand why it's so difficult to get a good reliable clutch these days.

I will inspect it caefully and maybe give the flywheel a fresh resurfacing and will see.

If you resurface the flywheel make sure to take measurements when you put it all back together because you may need to shim the slave.

You have the twin organic disks I believe. Check with spec about swapping to a more aggressive disk. Personally if a slightly more aggressive disk exists for you and the friction surfaces look decent, I would run the new disks after hitting the old friction surfaces with an abrasive disk to clean them up and it should run fine unless they are warped etc which it sounds like not. Check with Spec.
Century supercharged cars do make less torque, but you are bumping up CI so that will make more down low also. If you are going to race this thing and slip the clutch you will want to have some sort of metallic friction material IMHO.

But would be a very cheap upgrade option.

This is true for sure, I know they make a sintered iron disk for the twins, but hope they offer some sore of in between. I am a picky SOB and don't mind my RXT at all.
