In addition, the self-contained oiling system enjoys a 100K mile service interval (no drilling or plumbing required), while the included manual walks you through the installation—no fabrication or special tools required.

Features

  • For 1957–1986 small-block Chevy with conventional heads (#1551) and 1996+ SBC with E-Tec or Vortec heads (#1552).
  • Positive displacement supercharger.
  • Produces up to 500+ HP.
  • Eaton H122 rotor assembly.
  • Compact design fits under most hoods.

Newly released for 2007–2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 are these twin-disc clutch kits from Advanced Clutch Technology. The lineup offers a variety of street-friendly to race-ready options with torque capacities ranging from 890–1,495 ft. lb. The two-disc configuration provides nearly twice the disc surface area of single-disc products, producing better wear characteristics, higher heat capacity, and longer life. These kits also include ACT’s proprietary Positive Lift Floater system, which automatically compensates for disc wear, and a CNC-machined, dynamically balanced chromoly flywheel.

Users can choose from three different clamp designs, and every kit is completely serviceable: just send back to ACT for resurfacing, component replacements, and rebalancing at a fraction of the cost. Backed by 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects.

Features

  • For 2007–2014 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500.
  • Torque range: 890–1,495 ft. lb.
  • Nearly twice the disc surface area of conventional clutches.
