kelleyperformance Posted May 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 P im planning on using the ssr clutch and flywheel.... its heavy duty (and heavy) as a mofo; i figured hey they beefed the tranny up so much, they mustve put a hell of a clutch in right? but honestly i already know that not many clutches are gunna stand up to a 550whp 5200lb truck, period. and since this is my daily, i cant go putting some crazy clutch in.

kelleyperformance Posted May 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2007 its running! i drove it home tonight. but unfortunately i have to break the clutch in for 200 miles or so. i did get on it a little, maybe 70% throttle in 2nd at about 3k rpm, and it got sideways immediatly i love this thing now, its awesome. i still need to adjust the master cylinder just how i want it, (which is a BITCH), fab some more steel to get my shifter perfect (so i can install boot and cupholders, pictures included ;) ), and fix a few vibrations. also need a manual trans brake pedal, i cut the auto one and put the manual pad on it, but its set back farther. turns out my forward sprag is completely destroyed, and my sonnax redband is done for. my slushbox was so bad, there were metal shavings on the output shaft! oh ya, and sorry bout the pics...... i left my camera in the G stupid storage compartments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
