Then please, be specific with your questions. If you can't or won't afford the best parts available for the quickest ET possible, then say so.
Autozone or Checker Auto has rebuilt clutches that are more affordable. They may not last, they probably aren't fast, but it will get you through the pits.

don't be a dick and I won't be...
thought i WAS specific, what more do you want to know?
i'm not gonna be running in the upper classes of stock OR superstock nor do i have stock in ACT clutches

gmonde is on the same plane as me, i think or at least is more realistic.
last i checked,ACT didn't have anything i could use (AMC)but i could be wrong...

besides, i could run a LUK if it had the sfi sticker on it...

maybe impact has a few they'd sell me....

btw,seems like the only way i'd have to worry about a heads-up race is if i'd build 2 cars...
way too many autos out there..

hope this helps

how do you like the iron plate?
THAT's what i'm trying to decide on anyway...
that and how many "pads"...
i AM leaning toward the B&B Ram adjustable (think it's like 2200# to 2500#)...

makes sense, what kinda lining?
sintered iron,kevlar, organic (whatever THAT is

)?

depends on whether you are plannining on using the clutch or not between gears. sintered iron if not clutching, rag if using the clutch.
