Boosted going Vengeance Stage 2. Which Slave?

[HKusp]

I am finishing up my built engine and got most of it back together. We dropped the engine out of the car on the K-member with the headers and transmission. I am almost ready to mate the two back together and I am putting in a Vengeance stage 2 in and Barton shifter while it's all apart. The original clutch and slave cylinder had 47k mikes on it, while i am in there, might as well do a new slave, What slave cylinder do you guys recommend? Is going back with the stock Ford one good or is there a better one I should get?

Stock Ford is the best. I think they are made by FTE (at least that’s the stamping that was on mine) and I see Rock Auto sells that brand for quite a bit less than a Ford one.

Ive never heard of anyone recommending anything but stock ford one, i believe exedy makes the stock one but i may be wrong with that. Get a stainless steel line to replace the rubber one, that will probably be the best upgrade for clutch fluid related stuff

Any reason you went with a vengence stage 2 over other clutches like mcloed rxt? Ive been debating which route to go myself soon

I spoke to Beefcake and they were recommending the Vengeance over the McLeod. Both are really good, but the Vengence has the cooling fins/vanes and the one piece flywheel versus the two piece. At the time I was shopping, my car was on the stock clutch that was slipping. I was also on 93 and 750+ whp. My thoughts were, I wanted to be as easy as possible on the MT82D4, but not worry about not having enough clutch. I was going to buy the RST because having had an RXT in my GT500, I felt like it was going to be too harsh. Beefcake said the Vengeance Stage 2 was better suited to my needs. Now I am (slightly)worried I may not have ENOUGH clutch for the 900whp I am planning on even though it's rated to 850 ft/lbs of torque, which I will be far below.

djcodeman did a little review of the two here as well.

Very interesting! It does seem to have a few nicer design features. This is still the twin disk right? May i ask how much ya ended up spending on it?

It is twin disk, I bought it back in May and would have to look back, but I know Beefcake worked me a deal and if I recall correctly, it was just shy of $1400 shipped.

I did a stage 2 Vengeance as well on my last car. Factory slave, throw out, and braided line. I was around the 700ish mark and it was a great clutch. If i remember correctly i got everything from Parker Performance as they had a bundle deal with everything you would want to replace while your in there.
