Just wanted to get your guys' opinion on which clutch I should get. I'm hoping to have heads/cam/intake within the next couple of months, so I'd rather do this once, and pay for it once.

What clutch will live up to that setup pretty easily? I'm not the easiest person on the car, but I also don't think I had the clutch adjusted right, so thats why the valeo clutch only lasted about 2000 miles.

Centerforce DF.

Centerforce DF is by far the best for a mostly street driving car,easy pedal pressure but enough clamping force for stock and up to 500hp egine maybe even more...?

I highly recommend the centerforce DF its a great clutch....just ask anyone with it and hop in their car and feel the pedal... if you get a king cobra or spec anything like that.....you will dread stop and go traffic with that kinda pedal pressure... and they also wear out clutch cables too..... hope this is helpfull.:)

I had a C.F. DF and ran low 11's dropping the clutch @ 5k and it worked great. Then I switched to a spec 3( great deal from cincy) because I was worried about hurting the C.F.. The spec held up great also, ran high 10's with it. I then swapped to a c4.

Both clutches are more than adequate for your setup. The CF definetly has a lighter pedal.

James get with 95Redstang Shawn he has a spec 3 for sale for good price.

Me personally i dont think the spec stage 3 peddle is all that tough to maneuver through traffic.

I wish I could drive some cars with the different clutches. I'm really leaning towards the centerforce DF. Seems like I hear nothing but good things about them.
