Default Which Clutch?

I just recently got a supercharger put on my car and was wondering what are some clutches you guys recommend? I'm going to be doing the clutch and flywheel so ive been lookin at Spec Stage 2 clutches and aluminum flywheels? What do you guys run?

I have a FRPP King Cobra clutch and i love it, grips 10000000X better than the stocker, and if my memory serves me correctly they are rated at 500 ft/lbs and can handle 5k launches.

Dude those are some stout numbers. Try a Centerforce dual friction alot of ppl will recomend it. I personally ran a SPEC stage 3 and Spec Billet alluminum flywheel, with UPR triple hook quadrant love the set up. Still is streetable but damn that clutch grabs hard really woke the old stang up. Alot of ppl will have negative replys about SPEC stage 2's but the stage 3 are priced really good and are a hell of alot stronger than the 2's.

I have the spec stage 3, but it is alot of cluch. If your going to stay at your current power level the spec stage 2 should probably work for you. THe 3 is a bit much for a DD car that sees alot of street time.

With almost any aftermarket clutch you get, you will most likely want a clutch quadrant, i discovered this the hard way when I broke my stock plastic one during some "spirited driving" if you know what I mean I had to drive the whole way home without using the clutch.
