Clutch Durability vs. Power

[Stroker Smoker]

From what I have read here the ETH engines respond well with only a Boost Module and 275 HP injectors. Will the stock clutch hold up to the power? The truck gets the **** driven out of it often and I need the stock clutch to hold.



It is also my understanding that the injectors in the ETH are smaller than the injectors for the ETC, so would the ETC injectors give an increase in power over the origional ETH injectors?

You will probably be ok with the 275's and a boost elbow, i guess it all depends on what you mean when you say it gets the **** driven out of it. The clutch lining material from the factory really bites. If you do smoke it call peter at south bend, you wont slip his. As far as the etc injectors, my guess is there is not enough of a difference to even bother with it. if there was there would be plenty of guys around here doing it, cause we all know there are lots of etc injectors lying around on this board



You may just want to skip the 275's and go straight to a DD2 or DD3, you will not be sorry, the ETH loves the shower heads, and an EZ to go with them makes for a sweet running truck. But this will definitely need clutch attention.

My stock clutch is still hanging in there at 55000 kilometers (about 33000 miles) with 275's and an EZ... . but it's not gonna hold the COMP I'm pretty sure! Some ETH/DEE's are better than others-I think I got one of the good ones...



Second the South Bend suggestion-I have a Con OFE sitting on the floor waiting for me to work up enough ambition to get it in there!
