I went with the SPEC Stage 2+ and SPEC steel flywheel. Didn't change the TOB but wish i had. Didn't know then what i know now.

original shredded one...and what replaced it.

I've used this set up on several cars and it's a great combo with high hp applications:

Centerforce or Fidanza aluminum flywheel.
Centerforce DFX disc and plate
McLeod adjustable release brg (Ram also makes one I installed yesterday, cheaper)
Sand blast the pressure plate disc surface and the same on the flywheel for under 100 mile break in. If you are re-using the original flywheel have it resurfaced, then sand blast it.

I've been running this set up since November trouble free. I'm also using an MGW shifter and Prothane motor mounts. Speed shifts are clean and quick.

I really wouldn't consider an aftermarket clutch without an adjustable release brg/slave. Stay away from a Centerforce Dual Friction model disc at that hp level. They seem to hold up to about 400 rwhp...that's it.

is this still the best stock replacement for the forced induction crowd? My MagnaCharger made short work of my stock clutch and I am looking for something with street manners and a nasty streak for the strip, also the light weight flywheel, will that help me get my car out of the hole sitting at the lights? I can't seem to find that magic mark where the car launches down the track, she either stumbles coming out the blocks or lights up the rubbers like we are still in the waterbox.... Any help would be great
