Now I wish ford performance would offer a 100 mm throttle body!
I hope they offer some new parts in the ford performance catalog for 2017 for the GT350.
I may switch to a 4.11 US gear.

How do you think this will be vibration wise since the dual mass flywheel is no longer being used?

 

[Voodooo]

It will allow more vibration I'm sure switching to a single mass flywheel especially with the fpc. But the stock clutch is limited to how much power it can handle. Also the McLeod set up has an aluminum flywheel and that also reduces weight and inertia. It would also allow for faster revs.
Maybe lethal can chime in since they have this clutch and used it already.

+1. Heck, even the exhaust has tuned mass dampers on it. I'd question the longevity when switching from a specifically engineered and tuned dual mass flywheel (for the FPC) to an aftermarket one that has nowhere near the level of development specifically for the harmonics of that engine.

IIRC, RLR broke a ton of components on their 4.0L FPC M3 GTLM racecars, which don't use heavy harmonic balancing items like the GT350 uses to keep everything happy.

F350-F650 fords 6.7 Powerstroke diesels have exhaust dampers. What's your point? I have the ARH long tubes on my GT350 without the dampers. No problems.

Although I agree that the dual mass flywheel is fine for stock power levels and torque. Once more power and torque are added the dual mass flywheel becomes a weak link. If I go through with my plans to build a naturally aspirated 700+ crank hp 5.2 flat plane engine, the stock clutch won't cut it. And a single mass clutch such as McLeod's will be my choice. But Ive also have been looking into a Holinger trans.

Man a 700 horse FPC would be a beast. Never plan on FI?

No sir. I've always been a NA guy. Just ask my girl friend. NA = no action.

:lol: Just remember what she doesn't get at home, she will get somewhere else :cheers: She might want to be forced every once in a while :lol:

She's more than welcome to leave at anytime. Plenty more out there. I work and pay all the bills, this is my house she lives in, I own a business and I work a lot I know. But I never treat her bad, I'm home every night, I don't drink and go out. I'm as clean as they come. But when I want to work on my car or bike in my free time it's constantly nagging.
It's always
why does it take so long?
How much longer?
Why do you have to keep buying parts?
Why is it so loud?
I don't see the point you can't go that fast on the street.
You give your cars and bikes more attention then me.

Nag nag nag.
She goes out with her friends, I don't complain.
She buys cloths. I don't complain.
She buys shoes non stop! I swear it's like a fking shoe store here.

I do all the house cleaning because I have OCD and feel only I can do it right lol.
I cook and do all the yard and landscape work.
She does the laundry.
I make it pretty easy for her. Plus since it's my house I pay all the bills.
I bought her the car she wanted (2017 Lexus RC F 350)

I have a all original 1956 F100 which still has all of its original paint, engine, drivetrain, interior etc and only 27000 miles I keep thinking about getting rid of it. And when I do mention it and start to post it on eBay and other sites she flips. She loves this truck. But my bikes and cars she just don't get it.
Lol. I know it's crazy.

The dual mass flywheel & clutch are specifically tuned for the harmonica of the FPC. I wouldn't change it. Lethal found the limits of the stock clutch, which would probably handle 700 crank HP for street/track use. You may have longevity issues at the strip.

Wow. Who knew that ARS1 poking a little fun at VooDoo would trigger a therapy session post...

[MCarsFan]

Is that a single mass flywheel?

Lethal toasted the stock clutch on a few passes with nos.
