Post what's a good upgrade clutch package?

may need a clutch job, anybody use anything other than stockreplacements? i'd ideally like something that will take more power (350+), be lightweight, last a while, and not make the clutch feel horrible. i've heard good about the fidanza flywheel coming in at less than 6 pounds, what sort of pressure plate would be a good match? the huntley one looks pretty good... any thoughts on what people have done would be appreicated.

I've used a Centerforce Clutch for a couple of years with good luck so far. It is no stiffer than the stock in my opinion.

i have the kennedy engineering pressure plate(i tihnk its the same one huntly sells) with a fidanza flywheel & i really like the combo. it revs fast & grips good, feels better than my stock setup which was on its last legs since i got the car.

pedro do you know how hard it is to install a new flywheel? And shoud you do the flywheel and the clutch at the same time? I was thinking of getting a new fly wheel and clutch combo and I dont want to pay my mech. the $1000 for the clutch job

You can also try Paragon Products; I've been pleased with the Cup Car clutch package.

The clutch job isn't that difficult but it will be very time consuming if your doing it in your garage. Go to Paragons web site and click on the link Tech Session. (try the link below)
