ORIGINAL: MustangGT0405

Alright now that you have had it a while would you recommend it?

I was shying away from it because of the 520 ft lb tq rating as I thought my set up would be getting too close to that at the FW. But 599 gives me more room.

I figure once I forge I will get a 8 bolt crank and have to buy a whole new set up anyway.

Thanks,
I would recommend it when using a spec billet steel flywheel. Not sure how it would be with a stock or aluminum flywheel. Check specs website and you'll see they now rate it for 599 foot lbs which is more than enough for a stock motor.

I think I will get the Spec now with this new info, and use the extra $450 for other parts.

Avoid competition clutch. I just had a terrible experience with them. Their customer service, if you can call it that, is atrocious.
