Straight foward answer...
Straight foward answer... I did a search and only found that a certain Ram clutch has a firmer pedal pressure than stock. I drove a 92 mustang before i got my 99 SS and the clutch i had in that mustang was close to the type that would make ur leg start getting tired at a red light. Now the problem is my SS clutch feels mushy to me b/c of the previous clutch i had. I dont like that crap. What i'm lookin for is a firm pedal pressure that isnt gonna kill me at a red light but is deffinatly gonna be more noticable pressure than the stock clutch. So my main question is, w/ mainly bolt-ons, what clutch can i get to get a firmer pedal pressure? Thanks
Well that wont get to out of hand like the $hit$tains do unless you get a dual disc, they will definatly increase petal effort.
Your leg shouldn't be getting tried at a stop light though.
It is definatly not good to keep the clutch depressed for the duration of a stop light.
Not only is it uncomfortable to do, it's also not good for your throwout bearing, & hydraulics, you tend to build up heat this way.
The optimumn thing is to have the clutch depressed for a minimal amount of time, to prevent undue wear.

I had a friend struggle with a light pedal, and it ended up being his master cylinder. If you think its abnormally light thats something you might want to look into.
That being said, my Ram 402/980 has a heavier than stock feel. It isn't insane, but it is feels good. I enjoy a hard pedal because to me it makes me feel confident its gonna hold. Only 4 clutch dumps on this one thus far, but about 5k-10k street miles.
If you plan on doing boltons only, or cam.. possibly heads/cam, you won't have any problem with the 402/980 setup, and it doesn't chatter all that much either
Good Luck,

I changed to the mcleod adjustable master, but you can use an 01-02 if you wish. I really would suggest an adjustable if your picky about your clutch. I have mine adjusted just the way I like it
The clutch chatters on hills and such, but its not very bad at all IMO. Expect at least a little chatter though for the life of the clutch. You will learn to drive around it though, as its not that much.
