So a 10" disc would have more power with the 11 pp than with a 10" pp. But I went to 11in on my F150 (flywheel has 2 sets of holes).Been sorry every time I have to drive it in rush hour traffic, my left leg dies...and it didn't help pull boats up the launch ramp, the 230 rear end sucks.

And take this however you want: Chevy Vegas had 9" discs with 10" pressure plates...maybe did something beneficial for a 4 cylinder....maybe 'slipperier' until lockup- with long time between power pulses?... light flywheel ?

But I'd personally run the old stuff. The only pride of ownership I see in a clutch is how long one of mine lasts. My disc will be handed down to the next generation, especially behind a crash box.
