The Clutch Masters FX500 8-Puck Clutch Kit is a race-oriented, high-hold performance clutch system designed for builds that have outgrown street-driven clutch setups. This system is engineered for maximum torque capacity, rapid engagement, and extreme heat resistance, making it ideal for drag, track, and high-power forced induction applications.
