IMO I think Clutch Masters is one of the better ones, but they also cost more.

You may want to look into Exedy. They are supposed to be very good quality..

ACT, CLutch Masters, Exedy they wil all work fine. My suggestion would be the ACT because i have put mine through hell and it takes it with no problems.

Ive been wandering about ACT's... They are decent priced, and a lot of the big boys use them on the strip.. How is the pedal feel on the ACT clutch.

I have the 6 puck unsprung hub with an Xtreme pressure plate and it is a bit on the tight side. Its like night and day between this one and the stock clutch. I wouldnt recomend quite this setup unless you seriouly got some power or are really abusive. Try just a street disk and the Xtreme plessure plate.

The Clutch Masters stage3 is just the thing. I have had it on for 6k miles and it is great. The pedal (pressure plate) is just a little stiffer than stock and the disc is a street/racing disc. It hasn't ever slipped. The break-in period is 500 miles of stop and go driving.

Oh yeah I forgot.. You need something that rough to hold all your power...:)

I went with the Clutchmasters stage III and the Clutchmasters Aluminum Flywheel. I have to break it in which sucks but the pedal doesnt feel stiff at all which is great and it's suppossed to hold up to 350 Horsepower. I cant wait until I can hit it!!!!! :eek:

Make sure that you break that in too. It says 500 miles of stop and go driving and they mean it. So if you drive 25 miles one way, mostly highway, to work each day, you got to double that break in period. I took mine to 1500 miles before I did anything tricky with the clutch.
Yeah, I agree that it isn't real stiff but a stock pressure plate feels Much weaker, like your foot just goes to the floor. You want a pressure plate that is easy for daily driving and the CM's got it down, for sure.

This clutch is definately worth the money. Does not slip the pedal is not hard, can you say 3rd gear chirps! :D
