Stock or near stock motor? You can't got wrong with the King Cobra, Spec 1, Spec 2 or even the Motorsport HD, even though it has a heavy pedal.

I have had 3 different clutches.... the Ford HD and King Cobra, and the Centerforce. There isn't too much difference in the Cobra and HD, except the HD was really stiff on the pedal. Only about a $100-150 difference in price.

The Centerforce clutch was really nice, but for how much you would pay for that I would say go with the spec line of clutches because I have heard good things about them (except installation).

If you are worried about getting blown and not having enough in the driveline to support it, save money on the clutch and bump up on actual tranny to a world class or tremec.

I'm not sure, just remember couple folks had a problem. Maybe I was drinking at the time, who knows. Here's a good link:
