Default what kind of clutch should i get???

Hey guys, i was just wondering what the clutch of choice was? I am thinking either a King Cobra or a Ford Racing clutch. What do you guys prefer. although this is a summer car for me, I am going to be doing mostly driving, occasionally racing with it...thanks, Nick

i have a ford racing clutch (made by centerforce) go figure, and a ford racing pressure plate, for tech. said it would be good up to 800 hp and it sticks like your grandma's pus*y lips lol, not to stiff, but i have strong a$$ legs mom and g/f can't push in the clutch with both feet

i never claimed it would, i said i was told that... and when i ordered the clutch straight from ford racing it came in a center force box, center force logo emplaned on it, so i called up ford racing thinking they send the wrong part, tech support said that center force made most of the clutch discs

people dont like them because they "chatter" but they dont realize you have to make sacrifes for power, I had the king cobra for like a year and it was much stiffer than the SPEC i have now
