Boost Controller and Clutch question Options

[Chinosan89]

Hey guys I'm not really new to this forum but I haven't really been too active till as of recently, school's got me all tied up. But I'm Chino, live in UT. First 6gc I owned was a silver 98 st204, fell in love with it right away. Had it for about 2-3 years and decided to do a ST205 swap. The silver beast was unfortunately automatic so I bought another 6gc manual. I'm handing the silver beast down to my brother so eventually he'll be a 6gc freak like me too. I don't know a TON about motor work since I've had the automatic I just know a lot of body work so forgive me if I ask some stupid questions.

Recently bought my clip and started working on the motor. I have a projects thread on it.

Anyways enough with intro's I am looking into buying a boost controller and a clutch. I was recommended to clutch masters probably a stage 1 for now until I decide to boost more, but idk. I'm also looking into some boost controllers, anyone know of any good brands or easy use ones? I was recommended blitz dual spec but that one is kinda pricy, I was looking into blitz street spec but again not sure, never bought one. Anyone have any experience in these things that can lend me a hand?

The hybrid clutches from comp for the 3s swap with S54 aren't that great, and personally, I don't like the FEEL of a comp clutch, but they hold up a lot better than many other clutches out there for higher hp applications. and they are very reasonably priced for what you get. I've seen stage 4 spec clutches go bad at under 400whp applications in street cars. Not drift applications, or drag...street driving. I guess to me it's the name thing. spec to me is just a cheap brand. something I wouldn't put on my vehicles, aside from their not so spectacular track record.

But the point everyone is missing is ...WHAT PART OF THE CLUTCH FAILED? Not what brand was it.
Did it start to slip?
Did the center section separate?
Did the springs fall out?


You said that to you Spec was "bad" and ACT was "good" meanwhile celica74 said to stay away from act, and that spec was a good brand. Then Smaay says...no, Southbend is the way to go. And in about five minutes someone will post about how much they think Southbend sucks. How can anyone buy a clutch based on such feedback?

Brand names are totally irrelevant! If I put up three disks from three different manufactures with no stickers on them, you or I would not be able to tell them apart.
