I just picked up a TKO 600 and was wondering what clutch to get to back it up. The car should be putting out around 425 to the wheels. The guy im getting the trans from is also selling an AC stage 3 clutch thats rated to 500 hp and would give me a deal on itbut ive never heard of AC clutches. Thanks in advance for any help

Centerforce is the way to go. i think the dual friction is what you want for that power output.

ive heard great things about spec clutches, the centerforce dual friction is also good but i had a bad experience w/ one out of 3 that i have had, the current one is holding up nice

Can i ask why you didn't go for the stage 3? its only $20 more. Does it effect drivability?

I bought a stage 2 plus because it is made out of a different material for easier street use
