  • Maxed out the stock clutch, at only 8 psi of boost,

    I guess a stock clutch on a 284 can;t take over 300 ft/lbs at the crank, when i;m under boost and the clutch warms up its just starts to slip, so i;m wonder what type of clutch to put in it? i was thinkin towards a dual finction clutch/pressure plate,

      I would definately say spec stage 3, I've only heard good things about them. They are a bit pricey ($699), but it won't slip so its worth it. I plan on eventually using one of these in my GP once I get the money for it. I'm gonna use the stock clutch until I get the money, but I'm pretty sure its gonna slip.

          $699 that sucks, i thought it would have been closer to $500. Mine was only $411.

            The stage 3 is not 600. I bought a stage 2 at 299, I think the 3 was 399. I was told my stage 2 will handle over 310lbs of tq, the stage 3 might be overkill anyway.

                Yes, but you have a 282...we're talking about the 284. And since Stage 2 through stage 5 are all the same price for the 284, it would be stupid to not go with at least a stage 3.

                  Ahh ok......I thought the 282 and 284 would have been the same price. But then again everything with the 284 is more money so that it explains it :P
