My recommendation is Mcleod, SPEC, Centerforce, RAM

In that order. I've had all 4 with my 26 spline TKO 600, I liked Mcleod the best

I 2nd the vote for Mcleod.

I have one in my Mach & it performs very well & has good street manners as well...

Mcleod or Centerforce.

Clutchmasters... St 2 pressure plate with a kevlar disc. Pedal pressure is about same as stock. It is very smooth and I beat the crap out of one with over 500rwhp and 10X26 slicks. It looked like new after 60 passes.

I haven't heard about those clutches.. I know when I had my new motor built up I had my Ram full friction 900HD in there since last March and the pads still looked like they were new.. I wasn't making 500rwhp but I was making around 450 and 540tq and it never slipped on me at all. But it is a very aggressive clutch, off and on with no slip to it. It does take some time to learn how to drive with it around the city, traffic is a mofo with this clutch though I wouldn't but this one in for a daily if you're not racing it hard..

After 12 passes on my Centerforce DFX, there was nothing left of it.

Al, my car is a daily driven street car. I do not want anyting that chatters or is on/off like a switch. How is this clutch/pp you are recommending?

Thanks guys.
