RE: New clutch help
im pretty sure that its designed for higher HP uses, its more a performance clutch. I know that it can hold more ft/lbs than the stock-and you are right its only 40bucks more so just buy the damn thing and when you drive your car you WILL feel the diff

I wouldnt go with a ford racing clutch. Thats what I have now and after 20,000 miles it got really weak. I think it needs replacing.

RE: New clutch help
Devin. I would recommend King Cobra, i have it i installed it. Its easy, its nice, it grabs. Also i got mine from Mustangtuning.com free shipping!! Awesome deals too. Make sure you buy a clutch alignment tool and have youre flywheel resurfaced. Other than that, have fun and especially with the starter bolts. lol
