Ok I got an 03 Gt and jsut bought all the stuff from modular powerhouse to make my vortech screem(TY MD). I got about 10 lb of boost commin and I want to get a new clutch what do I have in my car stock? should I go with like a stage 3 or what?

Spec stage 2, consider no other. thats also the only brand clutch modular powerhouse sells.

Stage II? I have a buddy here that has the Stage III in his Saleen and he said its perfect for a poweradder. I would figure stage II would be for the more powerful full bolt-on NA GT. [&:]

JD - a spec stage 1 is more than enough for a supercharged car - a spec stage 2 is good for like 600 hp or something. Spec 3 would work too, but the problem is that the clutch is VERY grabby, its very hard to drive the car smoothly because you can't really feather the clutch during shifts - its either engaged or not engaged. A stage 3 is only like $10 more than a stage 2 but its alot harder to drive and not necessary. Beleive me, a stage 2 Spec clutch is waaaaaay better than any other clutch on the market.

Personally I had modularpowerhouse tune my car there, and they can do mail order tunes and keep sending you tunes till its right - but I'd probably have someone else tune it directly there on a dyno for convenience. If not using an intercooler w/ 10# of boost make sure the timing stays at 15 - 16* total and the a/f is 11.5 - 12.0 - then it doesnt matter who does your tune as far as safetly goes - although a GREAT tuner would get you good drivability to go along with that safety and power.

So, Joe. My clutch is going out soon also. I dont think Im going back to the track till I get a new one. You think I need a stage I or II? I think im gonna go with the stage II just be be safe.

lol grew beard then cut it all off - sideburns included

At any rate, sure the Spec 1 would be enough, as you go up in stages the clutches will grab more but be harder to drive. Shoot - Im still using the stock clutch with 420+ rwhp. It holds up fine on Nitto DR's and 11 second passes. When the slicks go on though I doubt it will hold - then comes the stage 2 Spec.

Yeah... im getting the stage II just to be safe.
