Well im trying to start a fight. But i have been doing some research and still dont know what to go with. I have a 95 gt putting about 375-415 to the wheels and approx the same torque. I just ate up a clutch cable, and before that was getting some slippage once in a while so i think im going to do it all. Clutch, Cable, and possible a flywheel. I have heard many guys talk about aluminum, flywheels. some hate them some love the preformance. Im looking for streetablity but i want something that i can be hard on and still last. Just looking for some opinions.

I am using Billet steel flywheel and king cobra clutch with steeda cable. It been fine over the years but i don't know about your combo.
You are putting down some serious power so you will need some thing like ram or centerforce stage 2 clutch and matching steel or aluminum flywheel(i always steer towards steel...) and perhaps stock clutch cable for strength.

$62 or $70 sounds reasonable. $170 sounds little too much. have you tried late model restoration? may be they could help you out with the better price
Yeah not to worried about the 60 bucks just hate what the dealer trys to do to you. Has anyone used the RAM clutches. Im doing alot of reading, but all the clutches are the same according to the websites. They all say we have the worlds best clutch and feels just like stock. Has anyone had some problems with a certain brand or has praise from a certain brand. Im trying to hear from people who have actually used different clutches to see which will be the best. thanks in advance

I've got a Centerforce D/F clutch, and love it now with the Maximum Motorsports cable. I had an adjustable cable from Zoom, and it plain sucked. Made both my stock clutch and the Centerforce feel like an old grain truck. With the non-adjustable cable from MM, it's the smoothest, lightest clutch setup I've used.

You can find cheap cables for more like the $40 range if I recall... A guy at work refers to these as the 18 month clutch cables...
How about something like this:
Maximum Motorsports :: The Leader In Mustang Performance Suspension ITem # MM-CP-51 it is a clutch cable (ford) with the FWA and quad for ~$130...

IMHO, the maximum motorsports cable is one of the best you're gonna get next to OEM. I work at a shop that does mainly mustangs and I can't tell you how many people get cheap adjustable cables and have them go out on them.
Get that, a centerforce DF clutch, a firewall adjuster, and a decent quality quadrant. I'd stick with a stock flywheel if it's a street car. Aluminum ones are nice but they just don't have the rotational mass that the stock ones have. Which is great if it's a road race car...but the heavier flywheel will net you more momentum making starting out from a dead stop easier.
Just my opinion...take it for what it's worth.

yes, aluminum flywheels are great for higher revving engines...but they just don't have the mass to keep the crankshaft moving. Flywheels serve more of a purpose than just something to bolt the pressure plate to. They help balance out an engine, provide momentum to keep the crank turning, help dissipate heat, and can even provide torsional dampning.
