Can I install a 10.5" disk clutch instead of a 10"?
You can if you have a aftermarket flywheel that has more then one bolt pattern. We offer two flywheels that have both the early, long finger pattern and the metric pattern for late model pressure plates. These flywheels come in lightened billet steel and aluminum.

Is a full Kevlar clutch smooth operating and long wearing?
Superior Clutches are very smooth operating clutches even on aluminum flywheels. Kevlar does not bite has hard allowing more power to be applied without breaking gears. Full Kevlar is highly recommended for light weight car like hotrods and cobras where the body mass is reduced and smooth shift is desirable. A high quality Kevlar disk like the one offered by Superior Clutch has a 2x to 3x service life over what you will get out of an organic disk.

Which clutch is right for me?
That depends on how much power the motor makes and how the car is used. If the car is used for daily driving and makes under 300hp, then a stock 10" or 10.5" will work great. If the car makes over 300hp then a dual friction Kevlar/organic is a better choice for spirited street driving and track duty. Full Kevlar clutches are great for super charged, higher horsepower levels +400hp. Works very well on the street and perfect on the track.
