clutch ?

Its time for a new clutch for me, I was wondering what clutch would you guys recommend? I have the gillis valve and K&N mounted in front of radiator, I also plan on getting an upgraded exhaust (not sure if I want 3" single or 2 1/2" dual yet) But back to the question, what clutch would be good for me? I dont think I "need" a centerforce stage 2 clutch for just the mods, What should I get?

Thanks

Pat, You might consider the Centerforce I. I have it in the daily driver. I haven't had that car to the strip yet, but it should hold up well. I think Dan is using one in his car which he has had on the strip. Same pedal feel as the stock clutch.

How would a Borg Warner clutch be? Also I was wondering what should I replace if the clutch was hard to push down?

Pat, If the your stock (current) clutch is hard to push, something is binding. This is a hydraulically operated clutch. Any binding is either in the pedal itself, the hyd cylinders or most likely in the clutch assembly. Inspect the input shaft bearing retaining collar on the front of the trans. If it is scored/scratched, then the T/O bearing is hanging up on it and could be the cause of binding. Replace it if it's scoured up Also pieces may break off either the clutch or pressure plate and if they get in the right places, will cause shifting problems. Be sure to replace the clutch fork ($12 at Ford) and have the flywheel resurfaced.
