the stock clutch is a weak link for sure. Also being in florida, a meth kit would be something to look into.

Depends on how much boost you are planning on. I'm running 6.5 lbs with my STS kit with stock drivetrain with no issues so far. That's with 530hp at the rear wheels. I'm hoping the clutch will hold out until I feel the "need" for a forged motor.....

I've heard accounts of some slight overheating problems with superchargers, but accounts seemed to be spotty and not everyone had that sort of problem. But perhaps a DeWitts radiator and 160 thermostat might be a reasonable idea to consider.

Default Well...

Old post but ...

You def. want a new clutch, I would do a spec stage 2 or a 2+ with a Fidanza aluminum flywheel , if you are going to be launching the car hard at the drag strip then def. do the hardened shafts.

As far as the overheating problems with the 8 or 9 cars we've done with Prochargers, we have yet to see any overheating problems, dont mean it cant happen just saying we havent seen any.

Are you gonna do this yourself or you gonna get someone to do this for you?

Right now we have a special for the month of June on the Procharger's, just something to think about
