hi, actually, you need to learn about clutches and how they work! base pressure, c/w, lockup rpm. flywheel weight. it all matters . the more you learn , easier it is. I have ran 4 speed duster for 38 years now. I had very little problems. I ran b&b/long pressure plate for years, kept lowering the base down, car went faster, then went to a softloc, far better setup. also, I ran the 833 trans for 30 years. I had it proshifted . means there are dog rings welded to gear, last far longer and stronger versus a slick shifted gear. the sliders were same ones from the start. the thing is, most guys put in the stiffest clutch and break parts, and will not change &. they keep breaking more parts!!! one guy talked about stockers , all use a good clutch, they launch very hard & fast!! if you keep the 8 3/4 then you should think about heat treating the ring gear to soften it up , will triple the life of it.
yes it does work. been there before. thing is guys are trying to educate you. that's how you learn. you do have to sort out the bs from the truth. BTW, I'm not newbe!!!
