I just ordered the powerbrute (borg warner?) clutch today, is this a good one? Also, in my new motor, what are the best plugs? I used AC delco rapid fires last time.

The Brute Power clutch package was the first replacement clutch I had installed in my car. The clutch engangement was a lot tamer than I would have preferred, and it would slip by the time I reached 3rd gear whenever I was at the track. The clutch disc itself collapsed upon itself after about 7,000 miles. You will hopefully experience better luck than I did, but I can definitively say that I'll never buy another clutch from Borg Warner again. Instead, I stand firmly behind Star clutches.
