Here are some pics of the clutch and a few of my GT, in a state of sub-disassembly (word??) Oh yeah, check out new shoes on the Savage...

Status: offline 		WOW THESE SHOES GRAB !!!



I have them setup in the position that is considered backwards (at least backwards to factory setups) and they grab HARD and hold FIRM.

I am running an 18 tooth CB (stock is what... 14 or 15?) with tall back tires and it flips the truck on its lid on pavement from a standstill. Babying it and nailing it produces SERIOUS acceleration, watch it squat!


If you are runiing an EPIC or some other hi-torque engine (OS 18, etc) on your GT you HAVE GOT TO GET THESE. Wow what a difference over that slipping-@$$ MIP....

The bell is a RR hardened bell; it should hold up just fine to the softer aluminum.

The MIP spring fits; it comes with one though... It took me about 5 days after I ordered to get it. I don't care what mill you are running it holds SOO much better than the MIP....

Status: offline 		Thats cool frost, thanks for the info! I'll have to get a set when i get either the os18 or epic18. Now that you're grabbing so hard your tranny must be getting a workout again. How are those gears holding up?

Status: offline 		I only ran 2 tanks but they are as smooth as when I put them in. I have the titanium top-shaft, the steel idler, and the stock plastic diff. I have a brand new diff assembly and hardened diff gear though; I'm waiting for I have to fail before I replace it.

But yeah, you can watch it go and it LOOKS like it is being REALLY hard on the driveline.

I also made some changes to my engine setup so that I could go up to O'Donnell 30% RACE. and that by itself also made a HUGE difference.

This is another side note but I went from O"donnell 20% race and temps at about 230-238F (end of tank temps) to a MEGA LOW 165F (ENTIRE first tank after switch even after WOT driving).... I had to turn the HSN between 1/2 to 3/4 turn LEANER to get the temps up to just 215F!!!
