I have used Ford Racing and Centerforce Dual Friciton and loved both of them.

Go OE.

I have a Luk OE replacement on mine and appreciate the reliability, easy pedal, good grip and chatter-free operation.

I asked a similar question about 1 year ago and ended up going with the Ram HDX. So far, there isn't anything I would change about the clutch. It is very compliant and easy to deal with in stop and go traffic and hills. It is an OE type material, so it drives like OE. The clutch pedal feel like stock, if not slightly softer. In fact, it is softer than my 90k mile old stock replacement clutch.. but that clutch was overheat a time or two. Ram claims the HDX has a higher holding capacity than stock. I don't have the power/torque to test that claim, but it has put up with all the abuse I have put it through. At the track, I made repeated launches with 3-4k rpm clutch slips, power shifted every gear, and it still felt great. On the street, I am not much nicer to it. The clutch continues to bark 3rd on power shifts, and not because I have the power to make it happen. My previous stock replacement clutches would end up soggy from the hard launches, but this one is holding on so far.
