I read about this clutch controller here and I've been really considering it. I was curious if anyone has any firsthand experience installing it or atleast using it and your thoughts overall. Is it worth the money?



Thanks!

I don’t have the Bang Shift Billy clutch controller, but I do have the Clutch Tamer Hitmaster clutch slipper system on my car. It requires a great deal of trial and error to dial it in. while it does work, I never got mine dialed in to perfection. To do it right will take multiple test passes at the track (regardless of which system you run).

I do think this system has saved and/or preserved my drivetrain from the shock of hard launches. Many people disagree with it and some have suggested that I take it off of my car, but IMO, it needs to be on there to help parts live a happier life. I think you should get whichever system appeals to your taste and have some peace of mind.

Well, I think I'm going to bite the bullet and order the Electronic Clutch Controller. I keep hearing at my horsepower level, I will need to slip the clutch some on launch. I figure the best way to do that will be with a controller. Let's see how it goes.

I'm going to try the Bang Shift Billy version unless someone else has a better recommendation.
Where did you end up mounting the solenoid. In the process of installing it mow and trying to find a good place lol

Man, I never ended up getting one and now my new stage 4 Calimer transmission with 2,000 miles on it died. So until I get this sorted out, I have been on hold for this.

I am very curious now about how it works out for you and what your thoughts are on it.

Man, that is some tough luck. I got it mounted for the most part. Plan on getting it wired up this weekend but I'm still waiting on my shortblock to give it a try. Ended up ordering a 12" steel braided brake line with -4 an females ends, a -4 male 90 to -4 female fittin, then drilling a hole through the wheel well and mounting it in the driver's side wheel well.

Great pics, thanks for sharing. I'm very curious how you like it once you get going. Definitely will look back at this to take notes from you.
