Default Clutch an tranny....

What would a good clutch an tranny do? What i mean is would it give u more power or give u better acceleration an faster shifts? Is it worth it for me to buy? I have 373 gears,k&n intake,e cam,bbk headers an flowies.

It will help the car move...lol

A good clutch will help on launches and a good tranny will help you shift better and make you faster, about more power to the rear....that all depends.

What are you looking at to buy??

a t-5 is a stock unit. they're not that great, but they're decent. tko's are good. spec clutches are good, as are centerforce. and if you're gonna upgrade get an aluminum flywheel.

the clutch and flywheel are going to give you better acceleration and better launching capabilities

the transmission, depending on which you get, will allow your engine to have more torque without blowing your trans up. also, you will get better gear ratios, so you can stay in your power rpm range longer. it will also help get a little more horsepower from the crank to the wheels.
