Default Which clutch?

Well my rear main is leaking oil all over my clutch and its gettin kinda weak so I'm gonna replace it this year. I want a good streetable clutch that doesnt chatter, but I dont mind if the pedal is a little heavy either. I just dont want something extremely heavy. I need something that's going to handle heads and cam, and eventually a blower... What do you guys think?

dont get a spec if you dont like chattering. i have a centerforce and its took everything i can throw at it for about 50k now but theyre kinda high. but its the way to go. for a ram is a little cheaper and ive heard theyre good too.

If you want to save some money, you should be fine w/ a Ram HD or King cobra.

I have heard horror stories about centerforce, what are some other decent clutch brands? Anyone have any experience with Zoom?

^^I'm w/ you on centerforce, but then agian, most of those guys were pushing a good amount of power. Zoom tends to be more of a ricer brand to me....not saying they're bad, I just don't know anyone that has used them in any domestic car.

Spec also makes a stage I for stock-type applications. It's in the same ballpark as the Ram HD and KC.

if your going to add a blower then $$$$$ shouldn't be in the picture as you'll be a really good clutch

I got the king cobra and I think that will be enough for what you got. They are pretty cheap also so thats a plus. Unless your planning more mods then that should be fine. Just read the instructions overt cause you have to wash the clutch with something, i dont remember what it was but if you dont it will chatter like crazy.
