Re: Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate
 

I picked up a Brute Force from Rock Auto a few years ago I was planning on using if/when I go back to a 10 1/2" set up. Price wise it was comparable to the Sachs, but I am curious if the Brute Force is any good since I can't find anybody that has used one. Anybody know this Brand of clutch? If it isn't so good, I may just stick with the 11" setup I'm using with my 302.

Re: Flywheel, clutch and pressure plate
 

I had a 11" Borg Warner Brute Force clutch in my BB 427 Nova and had really good luck with it. It was very similar to my Hays Street Strip that's in my Chevelle now. No chatter and it hooks at any rpm. It is a little heavier on the foot than stock but will out perform a stock clutch every time.

Sweet. The 11&quot; installed in my car I'm unclear of brand, but the pressure plate is purple and the clutch disc has 6 or 8 pucks????, I can't remember now and a aftermarket flywheel, which I think had SFI on it, whatever that means. No issues and hooks great in all four gears...the pedal is fine for me but I can squat 550 lbs easy so it isn't an issue there. I read about the Brute FORCE clutch on Camaro Research Group forum that was posted by JerryM SO i thought I would go with it when I put the 302 back in.

I got into weight lifting to body tone, at 155 lbs, while learning Kook Sul Wan (Korean Martial Arts) while I was stationed overseas in the USAF in England and a friend wanted to see, I did too, how much I could squat and at 30 years old I was at my healthiest. I'll be 61 in July...can't do it now. Has anybody seen where my body went...I'm still looking for it. Oh, yeah, and 5'8&quot; at 155 lbs looks way different then 5'8&quot; at 250 lbs.
