Ok guys i used to drive monster trucks and got this bird through a trade. and im new with driveing standards so try take it easy on me.

I had my mechanic drive it after he worked on the starter and he told me the clutch needed to be replaced.
When i get on it over 3000 rpm's it seems like it isnt gaining speed like it should, is that a sign of the clutch going out?
And if its not could yall explain to me how i would know its going out.

Im hopin its not tranny other tranny problems. Also what kind of sweet clutch should i replace it with which isnt really expensive.

Thanks guys

Yup, sounds like the clutch is a gonner. There are several makes out there, your choice. They are all expensive. I replaced mine with a complete GM LT4 unit (pressure plate and driven disk). Also, replaced the hydraulic actuater with the LT4 part. Clutch was firm, didn't like the feel of it, but it held really well, so I got used to it.

Funny thing about shopping different brands is that there are only a few companies making stuff like this, and they are all pretty much the same thing. Found out that most of the fancy stuff is just rebranded GM parts that GM buys from some other company.

Thanks man im going to need to replace that. im also thinkin of gettin a cutout put on before the muffler. Is it bad for the engine if i have it open all the time?

Adding a cutout won't hurt a thing. If it were me, to make the cutout really effective, add it before the CAT, but that is very hard to do, becuz of the way the crossovers join the main CAT. The only possible harm would be in backpressure that has become so low that the engine will no longer receive an adequate amt of exhaust gas recirculation to stop NOX and maybe some pinging. A way around this is to add 1.6 roller rockers. This ratio not only increases the valve lift, but raises hp AND increases valve overlap which makes EGR kinda redundant. It's a win/win situation in my book. A way around the exhaust cutout is to use a very free flowing CAT back exhaust system such as a Borla. Tests have shown that in the "wide open" mode (using the largest spacer), the system flows more than an open pipe, and that makes a cutout unnecessary. The noise isn't bad, in fact, it is very livable.

how much would those rockers run man?
