Default What Clutch and flywheel do you like?

Hey guys and gals..... Over the weekend I was toying with my car and I chicken fried my clutch[:@]. Now I come to you the masses to get your opinion on what I should go for.

I am laying down just over 630 HP and high 570 in torque so I need something that will hold but it also needs to be street-able as I love to daily drive it.

And what are the Pro's and Con's of Steel V's Aluminum flywheels? What brands do you suggest?


Thank you all for your input!

Wow, impressive numbers. My shop is recommending the Spec 3 plus a aluminum flywheel. I wish I could answer your questions more closely. The one they are looking at for me is rated at 760 ft./lbs of torque.

According to Spec's site, the aluminum flywheel will have less rotating mass thus providing more HP to the rear wheels.

Thank you guys for the quick replies. To give a little more insite, I do have a spydershaft 1 piece DS and I am currently running a Centerforce clutch on the stock flywheel but waaaaay back when the blower was put on Centerforce's best clutch was rated at like 500FT.Lbs. I guess I need more! I managed to get about 24,000 miles and about 25+ passes at the stripout of this set-up so I can't complain too much.

EXEDY, but its pricey compared to all the other clutches. The Falken drift and the Ford Racing drift (rip)S197s have 700 plus hp and they use the EXEDY. Out of every type of racing drifting will put the most load on it.
