stock clutch
will a stock six speed clutch handle DD2's and an EZ? Also, if you dont hook up the pump wire on a comp, is it an EZ? Stupid question, but I have heard two different answers.

Re:stock clutch
Is that a "nope" for this is a stupid question, or was it for the "will the stock clutch handle the dd2's and ez"?

The ETH factory clutch has proven to be weaker with power mods then the ETC 5 spd factory clutch.<br><br>You will be pushing its limits and once you hook up a trailer and have just one hard acceleration...it will more then likely start to slip.

Nope is for the clutch not holding. No question is stupid.<br><br>Dodgeboy, 140 hp??? You must have gotten one of the really superduper ones. Advertised gain is 120, rearwheel is more like 80.

Re:stock clutch
Now you know what the EZ can do. The COMP wouldn't get you around me either, while your shifting you'll be watching my tail lights fade in front of you. Watch your warranty!!<br>

Re:stock clutch
Must be a wide range of production quality in the clutches they use for the recent NV5600's. I've heard of a number of these clutches holding fine, and a number of these clutches blown out the first time someone got down on them. <br><br>With an Edge Pulse and 275's, my stock clutch has no musses, and does not fuss. (Pump wire enabled sometimes, disabled most of the time.) <br><br>Uh, well . . . . So far, anyway.

Re:stock clutch
So, you guys with Comps have pierced the dreaded fuel pump wire? I'm still riding the fence a bit as to whether I buy the EZ or the Comp. If I never pierce the wire, I think it'd be a waste of money over the EZ.<br><br>Help make this decision easier!!!!

Re:stock clutch
Brownpike let me put on his EZ and I noticed a little more power, but not as much as I thought I would be gaining. The clutch did not slip. I think I will opt for the comp and in 4 years maybe hook up the wire. Now while pulling, I might slip the clutch. You never know until you try. As for you brownpike, Bring it on. I am not to worried

I noticed a big difference when I drove Cattle Haulers with the EZ.<br><br>Mine was stock then. Thats why I noticed so much more.<br><br>I went with the TST pm3 and stacked the EZ thats a good combo. Of course then I went dd3"s Thats even<br>more fun.<br><br>Of course I had to put in a South Bend
