You can go with the centerforce it's a good clutch..also Exedy is a good clutch and will hold up over time. I have been running a Exedy stage 1 in my Gt for the last five years and it's still strong...knock on wood lol.

thats what most people say also,but ive read mixed reviews of coarse....wanted to get a fresh opinion on what hp it actually can hold,gona run some slicks eventually,so i dont want to get burned,looking for a decent street pedal feel also.

I run a centerforce dual friction in my car. I have ran it in my buddies car as well i love it. It doesnt have a super hard pedal but holds well. Even with the added power and i am making 400 plus it holds , My buddy has it in his coyote swapped car with a t56 behind it it doesnt skip a beat.
