Default Goodies came for me today




So i decided to step out of the box and go with a clutch thats brand new meaning no reviews, no articles, nothing about it online (that i could find)

its a mongoose clutch. the whole kit cost me 159, clutch,pp, TO, pilot, alignment tool.

50resto made this clutch and the guy told me its better than the king cobra, your just not paying for the ford racing name. And if anyone knows about 50resto than you know how well they know their stuff.

so we'll see,

It looks like a regular HD clutch to me, which is what the King Cobra did and mine didn't last but 3000 miles.

My Centerforce Dual Friction is a ten times more better clutch and and has well over 7000 miles on it, and I believe my engine has a bit more push than your setup. And I don't ***** foot my car either, it was built to drive. But if you like replacing your clutch a lot, fine by me.

since i only put about 500 miles a year on my car these days, i think it'll last me a few years and doing a clutch every 3 years is not a problem to me at all.

the guy at 50 resto had a mustang putting down 435 hp at the wheels and was using the king cobra, he put this clutch in and it holds as good if not better, so my measly 275-310hp car should be fine.

my friend bought a used dual centerforce clutch that had 100 miles on it but some of the aspetis trapizod pieces fell off the back side, he glued them on with some badass stuff and said it'll be fine but i don't trust that.

i should have the clutch in tonight, but i don't know what i'm going to do about the speedo gear geting chewed up so i won't know how good the clutch is for a week or so
