Clutch Slipping in High Gears

[REY 427]

I noticed that McLeod clutch is rated up to 500 HP. Is there one rated higher since I'm running a 550 HP Roush 427?

Before you fork out all the $$$$ for a new clutch, make sure that's what is really the cause of your slipping.
A clutch slave rod that doesn't completely release the clutch can cause your clutch to slip. Easy to check. Crawl underneath and have the clutch pedal depressed. Then watch when the clutch is released. If the clutch fork doesn't travel all the way back, then all you'll need to do is shorten the slave rod.
I had it happen to me. Easy fix.

The steeda tri ax is nice I have one. . Those numbers are rated at a much heavier car There's a lot more to it. Talk to the tech dept they'll explain it in detail. The twin will hold mega power

Hi!
Same motor (Roush 427R - 550HP, 450RWHP) same problem with the clutch.
Have replaced it with a RAM powergrip which is rated for 550hp.
Works great till now without problems.
Brent Blykins helped me a lot to decide - he is a great guy :-)
