Default Looking for clutch recommendations.
Getting ready to get the project back together. Figure on running about 375 hp at the crank, considering adding up to a 150 shot later. Running big gears with a spool as well. Intended only as a drag car, I am running MT ET streets. T-5

Have heard Ford Racing King Cobras are decent. Really trying to stay under $400. Has to include pressure plate, throwout, clutch, etc..

I have the Centerforce D/F in mine.
