Default Clutch questions

Ok heres teh scoop

My brother has a highly modded 89 GT, but all that matters is that he has a zoom clutch

I havbe a 92 GT with a spec stage one clutch

HIS clutch engages about halfway, mine, even more so


Out----------In (out = no pressure on clutch, engaged, in= foot to the floor, there are 10 dashes, E= Engageing point)

Bros ----E-----
Mine -------E--

whose is in the right spot (his engages about 6 inches off the floor, mine, like 3)

for racing his is better, you dont want to have to throw the clutch almost all the way to the floor to shift cause you run more risk of missing gears on quick shifts and lose more time shifting. im getting new ram hd clutch set and ram billet steel fly wheel tommorow for agressive street strip applications and im curious to see whats gonna happen with the new setup. the king cobra just isnt holding up for me.

what i mean by it not holding up is that this is the second clutch this year that ive spun the fly wheel with,both were king cobras. i went with the ram hd stuff this time and hopefully this will do the trick. $695 for the fly wheel and clutch set. but cheap parts aint good and good parts aint cheap
