I just put a heavy duty stage 1 clutch in my 97 gt and I love it. I highly recommend it and it has great response and a great feel to it for $200.

I have a spec II and it is good. If you are looking for the "Best" you might want to look at a Macleod clutch. They are great but, $$$. Other good brands are centerforce and Ram.

I'm replacing the clutch on the Cobra soon. RIght now I have a CFDF that isn't fully disengaging. I don't want to spend that kind of money on a CF again, so I was looking at the SPEC stage 2.

I would rather get the DFX. I've never heared anything bad about them other than what
svt32vdohc said. I've heared that some people don't like the spec at all and some say they don't last for chit. I'm just saying i don't know first hand just something to think aboot

I have a DFX in my cobra putting down a little over 500 at the wheels and it grabs really good, I think it is around $800.

I've heard SPECS have given problems since I typed that. I'm not going that route. I am getting a Ford Motorsport King Cobra. My tuner has installed those in all the 03-04 Cobras and he said they'll hold upto 550RWHP. He said they don't take too many 5K-6K launches, but I'm not doing that. I just run on the street and some track.

Go to promotionpowertrain.com and give them a call. They put together custom kits to match your setup using Mcleod parts. Try finding somebody talking bad about a Mcleod clutch! just my .02

YOu can get a King Cobra for pretty cheap. I have a Centeforce DF and like it. I had a McLeod but it never wanted to fully release and killed my 3rd gear sycnro in my TR-3650.

Seriously think about getting a SPEC...I had a SPEC 1 before I put in my new engine...when I put in a SPEC 3...I beat the heck out of them and have had no problems whatsoever...I love the clutch...period.

I just had a RAM powergrip put into my T45 with new TO bearing, cable, FWA and Quadrant and it feels great, I've put around 100 miles on the thing and it is awesome! I have a couple Boltons and will have enough power to hold up to a blower when I decide on one!
