For That Next Engine Swap Or OEM Upgrade

Let’s face it, if you’re reading this story, you’ve most likely never read “The World’s Most Complete Guide to Saving Gas (and Money). In fact, that is probably the first time you’ve put those words together in a complete sentence. So with that out of the way, we can now focus on the real reason we’re all here. We don’t just like cars; we like FAST cars. Currently, there are a plethora of high-performance choices to help satiate our appetite for power, but as the old saying goes, there’s always room for improvement. That holds especially true when talking about powerful cars with three pedals. SPEC clutches help ensure all the power makes it to the wheels.

When increasing performance, one item that should always be considered is the clutch required to contain all that tire-searing torque. The team at SPEC Clutches knows this fact very well. That is why they have made such an effort to provide solutions that work as an OEM upgrade and have multiple levels of holding capacity to fit highly modified vehicles and most engine swaps.

SPEC utilizes several different clutch materials to tailor the torque capacity and clamping characteristics of each clutch assembly. They can also combine various clutch discs, flywheels, and pressure plates to fit many non-OEM applications.

Choosing the right clutch from a list of part numbers depends on the usage the clutch will see. Will the car see only regular street driving or will it also be used on the racetrack? If racing is a primary concern, even the type of racing can dictate which clutch is best suited for your application. Being realistic with your expectations is key when choosing the proper clutch and all SPEC clutches are built to survive abuse when used within their specified torque ratings.
