Ive Been Doing A Little Checkin And Im Not Sure What Clutch To Go With. Went To The First Bir Street Drags And RAN My Car....AFTER THE FIRST RUN I realized I Didnt Have A Clutch Left..my Best Time Yesterday Was A 15.11 @ 93mph... Not Cool!! So Ya, If Anyone Has Any Options On A Good Centerforce Clutch Let Me Know, Thanks!

Not Much For Mods.. I Just Had A Set Of 3.73 Frpp Put In About Two Weeks Ago.. Other Than That I Have A Cold Air Kit And Exhaust. I Only Have 74,ooo On The Car, But She Is Time For A Rebuild Already. I Have A Block In The Garage Im Going To Finish Up... And Then The Gears That I Had Put In Howl Like Hell! The Installer Said There Was Nothing Else He Could Do To Get The Noise To Go Away.. But Ya, Those Are The Only Mods I Have Done

Thanks for the mod list...that will help out.

What does your block consist of? Are you stroking it and adding heads, cam, intake? Or is just a rebuild. You have very low miles so I would assume your car is in good "bottomend" condition...

A King Cobra (I have had it as well) is a nice clutch that will not slip with the power/acceleration you will put it under...plus it is a Ford part The pedal is heavier than stock but I drove it everyday and was just fine with it...

You don't need something over the top. A stage 1 Spec, King Cobra, McLeod single friction are all pretty decent. Could do a center force single friction too. I wouldn't get into the heavier clutches (dual friction) unless you have a built tranny. The impact of these clutches is harsher on a stock trans. Not to mention, with the mods you have, you won't need a heavier clutch. Good luck.

Spec Stage 1's can have some clutch chatter problems from what I have read which made me stay away from them. They are cost effeicent though and can hold the power you car has.

Will you be installing the clutch yourself?

Well Thats The Thing, I Am Just Going To Build This Other Block That I Have. I Would Love To Make It A Stroker, But Thats A Little Much Right Now, Im Just Going To Do It .030 Over And I Am Buying My Buddies Afr 165 Heads And I Ordered A New Intake And Some Other Goodies... Not Sure On Cam Ideas Yet... Speed Density Sucks!! Maybe I Will Go A Little Heavier On A Clutch Then

I have AFR's/Performer intake/custom cam and I have the CF Stage II clutch and it don't slip at all...the King Cobra will most likely not slip on you but if you get any kind of oil on it like I did it will start slipping as in my case.

The CF I have has a lighter pedal feel than my King Cobra but is just a tick bit more touchy but I love it as I said
