Default need clutch input

Im trying to decide on a clutch for my notch. I used the search feature and it seems that the king cobra and spec stage 1 are both good choices. I have bolt ons w/ a 150 shot and i plan on using slicks at the track but also driving on the street alot. It seems there were alot of arguments about the 2 clutchs so i just need some help deciding.

centerforce might be a bit too much for my budget right now. is it worth the money compared to a spec/KC???

I went with Centerforce Dual Friction clutch, I love it, feels about the same as my stock clutch but grabs great!

I have been running a Center Force dual friction on mine for over three years now. Daily driver with several long road trips and time at several tracks between SC, FL and GA. Run with bone stock engine and different superchargers (Procharger and Vortec), I have had no problems at all. I am really facinated with its performance. I am going to try it out on my 418 in the near future. The only problems I have had was the chirping throwout bearings, I have since solved that problem (Not pressure plate or clutch plate related.)

I run a CF DF on mine as well, great clutch. I hear Spec is pretty good as well. Whatever you go with, don't cheap out on a clutch.
