Cuda SRT8 392 Gen.III Hemi

Next I set out to find a good flywheel / clutch combo that would take high hp / torque and hold up for a while. Something I could abuse for a few 1/4 mile runs while not jeopardizing longevity. I decided I better go with a dual disc clutch of some type, to also give me a moderate "pedal", as I'm not getting any younger during this build. I was looking at the McCleod dual disc and about ready to go with it when I stumbled across the SPEC dual disc setup. The McCleod had a stamped steel pressure plate housing which I'm sure was durable, but I really fell in love with the SPEC unit. The flywheel is machined out of billet aluminum (with steel insert) and the clutch cover is machined from billet aluminum as well and then anodized blue. While I consider my oil pan to be a "hand fabricated piece of art", I view this SPEC unit as a "machined piece of art".

SPEC does not have a general, "fit all" flywheel / clutch arrangement for the Gen3 Hemis. They only had a unit whose application was specifically for the late model Challengers with 6 speed manual. I figured what the hell, that should be fine and ordered it. It is soooo nice!
