Default Which clutch kit to install????

I have a 01 GT with minor mods, and i have to make a choice on my clutch replacement, actually don't know wich brand to buy, this are my options:

Exedy Mach 400
Spec Stage II
Mcleod Super Street Pro


Which brand do you prefer and why?

I'm looking something good and softer than my Stock clutch (the Mcleod RXT is the best choice but is wiiiiiiiide expensive)

If you like to do burnouts steer clear from the spec. I along with at least a half dozen other local guys to me have welded their various spec clutches to their flywheels doing burnouts. I wasn't real thrilled with how much chatter mine had either compared to others I have had in my mustangs.

I'm running a promotion now and absolutely love it, but have prob 500rwtq too.

I'm running a spec clutch, and i have a ton of track passes on it, and over 100 3rd gear burnouts on it. No issues whatsoever.
But anyway.
OP: How much power are you pushing, mods, trans, etc. Future plans.

Right now i have minor mods, 3.73 gears, JLT CAI, TB and plenum, and a cat back...


future mods:

SCT tuner
Headers + Xpipe
underdrive pulleys
this is something that i have in mind for the short time, later maybe i'll get a Vortech system....


I decided for the Mcleod superstreet pro!!!!

The mcleoud would be a good choice with the blower, but hoenstly with your mods you best bet would be a factory equivelent clutch.

I was pushing a little over 550 at the wheels at the time. I've seen bolt on gt's, boosted mach/fox/06 all do it also. I guess it just put a bad taste in my mouth for spec after that
