Ram HD clutch is my recommendation. I've personally had a Zoom clutch shatter on me behind a 325hp setup. Not fun.

iv got a mildly modded 03 mach1 makin 320hp/337tq to the tire and toasted the stock clutch, put a spec stage 3+ (key word plus) and no problems so far. has almost stock peddle pressure and great daily driving and grip 4 track use

--------------------
03 mach1 all back to stock :(:(:(
do what you gotta do i guess

I personnaly like the custom clutch setups of pro motion but could be overkill for what you are doing. I agree with johnb on the clutch selection. Either a centerforce DFX or a RAM HD. I think either of these would be great. I'm not a huge fan of spec, too heavy on the foot although I have never used a plus series clutch

+1 the standard stage 3 six puck spec has ridiculous peddle pressure. ask 96mysticman between his and mine are like nite and day,if you like spec its worth the extra 100 or so.
