New clutch, possibly lightened flywheel?
My 2000GT currently has a little over 30,000 miles on it and the clutch is starting to feel a little slippery. I was thinking about looking into a high performance clutch/pressure plate package. How extreme ahould i go, my car w/ the bolt ons is pushing around 265-275 at the flywheel. Also, i've been looking at aluminum lightened flywheels. i have a buddy who just put one in his 300ZX and he said it made a world of difference, but it makes me wonder, his car is only a V-6 so will my V-8 be as noticable in terms of tourqe increase. Finally, where are some good places to check out online for mustang clutches and clutch parts?

RE: New clutch, possibly lightened flywheel?
The Ford Racing King Cobra Clutch will be perfect for you. It will hold up against mild boost or full bolt ons, which could be around 400hp. It's probably the best priced aftermarket clutch for the T-5's or T-45's, and all the reviews I heard about them are positive.
I just bought one, and I'm having it installed very soon.

A stock GT puts about 260 to flywheel. Do you mean at the wheels? Your clutch should not be going out at 30K unless you REALLY KICK THE CRAP out of it every time or have a lot more torque to push.
