racing flywheel with OEM clutch? which clutch to buy

Why is your clutch noisy? Is your Throw out bearing failing?
The stock OEM flywheel is made of nodular iron just like that
Ford Racing in that link.The only difference is probably the weight
between the two.I have alot of experience with clutches and I have
seen what clutches hold up and witch ones don't.
First off the Ford Racing clutches aren't bad at all and a good bang
for the buck.If you are making 350rwhp or less then this is a clutch
to consider.Although with this clutch the clutch petal is stiffer than
the stock clutch pressure and is alittle hard depending on how you
adjust your clutch cable.
Me and my cousin both had bad experiences with Ram clutches.
Ram clutches are simply crap if you ask me.Me and my cousin both
had the Ram HDX clutches.Mine lasted 7K miles not even a year before it failed.The clutch disc on mine shredded.
The Ram HDX clutch on my cousin's 92 LX failed just after 5K miles of use
pretty pathetic if you ask me.Also we both replaced all of our bearings,
clutch was aligned properly,clutch cable was adjusted correctly,and
brand new flywheels were used.In my opinion don't buy a Ram clutch
save yourself the misery.I wish I listened to my cousin the first around.
I currently have a Centerforce Dual Fricition with just over 10K miles on
it.It holds up very well and graps hard.It even takes the abuse I give it
at the track.I go to the track once a month and do 3-5 passes each time.
Blue-stang make sure you replace your pilot bearing and throw out bearing
when you install your new clutch.I highly recommend installing a brand new
flywheel and not resurfacing your old flywheel.Also look into getting a aftermarket quadrant and firewall adjuster with your new clutch.Don't use
a aftermarket adjustable clutch cable make sure you get a stock OEM
Ford clutch cable they are the best choice.

Your welcome bro.
The input bearing retainer shim kit isn't really necessary.
The new pressure plate bolts would be a good idea.
New flywheel bolts are a must.
Also I recommend changing your transmission fluid of course
when you change your clutch.

I think the Ford Racing clutch kit and their matching nodular
iron flywheel will be a great combo for you aspecially if you
go to the track with your car.Don't forget to get a aftermarket
quadrant and firewall adjuster.The stock OEM clutch cable you
could get at your local Ford Dealership parts department.
