So I just noticed my clutch is slipping just a liiiiiiittttlllleeeee bit N I was thinking of just throwing on a new one just don't know which one to go with. I was looking at RAM HDX clutch kit kuz it'll hold up to 450hp N pretty cheap. So I was wondering if any of you have it installed? How is it on the leg N how is the grip? Any other suggestion for clutches that hold 450-500hp range?

Go to uprproducts.com

They have a king cobra clutch kit with a heavy duty pressure plate, clutch disc, pilot bearing, throwout bearing, alignment tool, firewall adjuster, triple hook quadrant, and adjustable clutch cable for only like $220. The description says it holds up to 650hp, but I doubt it'll hold THAT much. Still the best bang for your buck and they can handle plenty of abuse.

Automatic FTW bro haha. Just do your research bruh and you'll be good I just sold my ford racing king cobra clutch for dirt cheap that would of been ideal for your setup in the mean time. I do have a spec pressure plate that I will sell you for cheap just to see you get that 4 eye back on the road. Lmk.

I played soccer for many years I can kick a head off a motherfucker if I wanted to so don't worry about my legs. N I don't really see a point in doing my clutch twice kuz I don't know how to install one so I'd have to pay twice the clutch N twice the labor.

I'll look into this. I don't NEED a clutch right now it only slips when I'm in higher RPMs N going about 70 N put it to the floor. So imma do as much research as I can so I can choose one. [patriot]

I would look into a Spec Stage 3+. Not super aggressive pedal. Can handle your needs well.

It'll rev more but not go as fast as it should, when it slips you'll know what I'm talking about. Mine right now slips at 4th gear around 4,500 RPMs N slips by like ~250 RPMs when I put it to the ground of course.

I had the ram hdx clutch in my coupe I liked it it felt like it held up nice and smooth. I only drove it for like 20 miles then I sold the car lol but it felt solid and griped. For 190 you can't go wrong w that clutch I think it's worth it
