LCE Clutch

I have a 94 toyota pickup 2wd w/ 22re and I'm looking at getting a new clutch because my current one is starting to go. I'm considering a LCE clutch kit, but I cant seem to find any opinions on them.

The truck will soon have:
Header
Exhaust
Ported head w/ bigger valves
Cam upgrade
Supra AFM
Ported intake manifold
Supra LSD
Intake and battery relocation

My biggest concern was that I buy a clutch that isnt going to slip with these power mods, especially if I go with a full build later on.

Thanks for the help guys!

Go with the Marlin Crawler 1200 lbs clutch
I just did almost everything(no lsd or battery relocation) you listed and put the MC 1200 lb set up in and it works great

Wouldnt any good clutch work, on any naturally aspirated 22re? I dont think it would but out that much HP at the crank to make the clutch slip.

Would you recommend the Mc 1200lb for a daily driver?

TJMWO,

So you think the Mc 1200lb would be to hard on the drivetrain. Yeah its going to be a DD/race truck (take it to open drags)

I have a Evolution 9 and those Transfer cases break on stock power, so I've learn a thing or two about how to "safely" launch a car (slip the clutch)

I have other cars, its just my main daily driver.

If I were buying a new clutch right now, I'd probably get an Exedy part # 16801A

I had the LCE heavy duty clutch.It always chattered a little,and I never liked it.My flywheel was brand new,so that wasnt the prob.Unless your really going to flog it,I think any clutch will work ok.I used a perfection disc{soft and cheap} with my LCE pressure plate,and my clutch is nice and smooth.Can I abuse it like the LC?Doubt it,but Im aight wit dat.
