The trigger wheel is incredibly cheap at something like $10. I wouldn't use Nick's because it is 60-2 and you want 36-1. Anyway, this installation involved me placing the damper on a lathe and removing about 1lb of material so the inner diameter of the trigger wheel would slide over to the best area so the wheel lines up with the sensor area on the timing belt cover. I then added 3 slots to the actual trigger wheel to allow for some rotational adjustment area although most ECU software has a certain amount you can correct for that sort of error.

60-2 also works with most all ECUs, the mega ignition stuff is the only exception I know of.

Hey, where did this thread come from??

Have I been sleeping for a few days and missed it?

See what happens when you nap?


No, it's new but they pulled some stuff off the ECU thread because it fit better here.

Kind of off-topic but sort of related for anyone throwing more power at their 308. What's the stock clutch able to handle? Do I need to use a Daytona pressure plate to handle the extra bhp?

The answer is of course...it depends.

Really it's torque that is the issue not hp (which is toque x RPM/5252), but most of the knowledge out there is based on hp numbers so you have to back calculate to get the torque.

A stock 308 clutch seems to work to about 300-350 hp, so about 260 ft-lb torque. It's important to know the torque limit because increasing the engine displacement without changing the intake track will increase torque but not hp so you could easily exceed the clutches torque limit but be in the safe hp range.
