Mike,

My Cobra started out with a 302/T-5 trans and did NOT use either (internal or external) hyd assistance. I was not running the strongest pressure plate avail either but I was using a medium duty ram clutch set up. My HP was about 330.

I am running a hyd t/o brg now because there is not enough room between my bell housing and frame to use a conventional clutch-clutch rod-throw out bearing set up. I am not a big fan of my set up either. So, unless you just can't push your clutch in and hold it in at stop lights I would not use either method. Besides you get a better feel of your clutch without assistance. Another plus to NO HYD Assistance is that it will keep your wife out of the drivers seat too.

Clois
