I have your exact setup, hp and all. I had bad luck with my Centerforce Dual Friction with Light Metal Disk so I won't recommend that. As long as you don't launch of slicks, it will hold up. Still in the process of pulling my tranny to see what is going on with it...:nonono:

Do you plan on racing the car and/or launching on slicks?
 
Get the clutch I have. You can get it from www.nitrostangracing.com for $289. Its a blueprinted/modified motorsport HD pressure plate with a mcleod dual friction disk. Includes the t/o bearing too. Its modified to handle high rpm's and lots of power. Killer street clutch, not a hard hitting chatter box. Get an aluminum flywheel too.

It will be fine as long as its the correct balance. I prefer lighter flywheels to go faster and put less stress on the crankshaft.
thats cool, i just bought a stroker kit and came with a fluid balancer, ram steel billet flywheel and it all come already balanced on the hines machine so im in good shape!
 
Well, I can only tell you about two. Both my King Cobra clutch and my Spec stage 3 clutch never had a problem with well over 400 rwhp and about 500 rwtq. With the KC, though, i had a centerforce DF disk. The spec was a bit aggressive for the street. It really likes to yank the car into a roll. The difference in pedal effort was negligible. I'm 100% sure that a spec stage 2 will handle 400 rwhp too, and I'm sure that it's more streetable.
