I have a 67 mustang fastback with a 69 351 windsor. The engine has the basic mods, ported heads, headers, edelbrock intake and carb, msd ignition, etc. I am using a tremmec 3550 5 speed. Instead of using the transmission to bellhousing spacer plate to make up for the extra lenght in the input shaft of the tremmec, I had the input shaft shortened. When the engine was built, I opted for the 10.5" clutch instead of the 11" for the extra space for headers and steering mods. I had a Hays 12535 flywheel ballanced with the engine. I have replaced all the plastic bushings in the clutch linkages with spherical ball joints.
This car is an extreamly nice daily driver street car with occasional trips to the track. I am looking for a clutch set with 40 to 50% more holding power than stock with the lightest pedal pressure possible. Several years ago I used a centerforce 10" (I think it was the gold, slightly better than stock) that had a nice pedal, and streetability, but, just didn't hold at the track. Since then I have been using a long style pressure plate that holds, but I'm developing a bionic left leg.
Does anyone have any thoughts on a good manufacturer/combination, preferably 10.5"?
