Upgraded 10r80 clutches and TC

[armykyle1 [HACKED ACCOUNT]

I'm starting to get build up stuff I need for a forced induction build.

I'm curious how many people have upgraded clutches in their 10r80s and how they're holding up?

I plan on getting putting in a TC at the same time as doing the clutches, no sense in pulling the transmission twice. I'm leaning to the N/A converter as it seems it stalls to around 3400/3500 and would be well suited for n/a and forced induction builds.

I see there's a few different clutch kits out there now too. Are they all the same, since they're all sourced from Raybestos?

I've not narrowed down if I want to go centri or turbo. I'm still leaning towards centri for ease of installation and maintenance. It would be nice if on3s top mount had comp turbos.

I have the McLeod clutches and circle d (forced induction) converter. Car has help up so far at 900whp but I’ve spoken with Beefcake and finish line performance and they said they are on their 4th set in his car. Brian over at finish line performance told me max hp for these clutches are in the 900-950 range. So far, so good.

Aren't they pushing well over that?

I plan on doing a larger cooler too. Hopefully keep the heat down more.

Yes, Beefcake’s car is somewhere in the 1050whp-1100whp range

We have the Mcleod clutches/steels and a Circle D in our car, we have not had any issues as of yet and we are 1000+ whp. I would recommend upgrading both especially if the car see's track time. Feel free to reach out with any other questions.

OH, I've looked that over. I'm guessing the forced induction TC?

We were one of the first ones with the converter before they had the different offerings for NA & Forced Induction

What fluid did you go with?

Stick with the Ford ULV fluid on the 10r. It's pretty cheap from the dealer

They are doing my install in late February. I can’t wait.

Im looking into getting mine rebuilt as well, but from what i can tell it looks like some other shops have some magic they are doing to get more clutches and steels and maybe some other mods. Just don't seem like they are really talking about it or putting it out to the public yet. LPF and another place i cant think of, but they seem to be far ahead of everyone else. One of the LPF cars went like 8.1 with a stock torque converter, which seems nuts.

I’m putting down 610 to the wheels with a Roush SC setup. I’m guessing the stock trans is up to task for that type of power? I don’t track the car, it’s a weekend driver. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks
