Do a search there has been alot of descussion on what clutch to get. The most popular ones are the Mcleod Twin Disk, Spec Stage 3, Ram VDS 910, and the Exedy (sp?) Twin. It just all depends on what you have planned for the car.

I have had three Centerforce dual friction clutches that I went thru in about 8 months, and so far the Spec Stage 3 clutch has held the best. After 2 years of track and street driving the first Spec clutch started to go, so I replaced it along with adding the aluminum flywheel, and after a year and 671 HP of TA, it still is holding. If there was a second choice it would be the McLeod, but kinda high dollar. Spec now has a stage 3 that takes 825 torque, compared to the 680 or so advertised on the older model. I'm putting out about 608, so that extra could be useful.
Just my opinion...George

It just depends on how much power it is suppose to hold. If you want it to feel and drive like stock then get a zo6 clutch but if you want it to hold some power then buy a mcleod clutch. Just my opinion
