Do I need a clutch yet? If so, is there a Tampa SBC installer?
I think my clutch may FINALLY be succumbing to the inevitable. After years of holding DD2s and an EZ (which is wasn't supposed to hold), then Mach 4s, and now Mach 4s Plus Catcher ECM, my clutch appears to be showing signs of mortality.
But I'm not even sure it's going. It's not obviously slipping. It's just that when I step on it I can more noise and boost than actual go. The RPMs don't jump up, and the boost doesn't jump down-- either of which would obviously point to a bad clutch.
But it's reasonable to assume that hard use of a Catcher+M4 combo would take out the stock clutch, imo. I've found myself driving a little mor aggressive here in FL-- partly because there's more power in denser, wetter air-- and partly because Tampa traffic will make you crazy, and HP is a good coping mechanism (and cheaper than meds).
So, who is near Tampa that I could trust to install a Con FE? I need someone who's done this work before, wouldn't rape my wallet, and knows about the flywheel machining requirements for a SBC.
Thanks for the help.
