Default Clutch Recs.

I need some clutch advice. Its time to replace mine due to slipping and I am probably going to replace the flywheel too so if anyone had any recommendations that would be awsome. This car is going to get raced alot this summer, its stock with an exhaust and 4:10's right now but a 150 shot is goin on it this spring. Its mainly a toy but it sees alot of street time cuz I can't help but drive it cuz I love it so much. I was thinkin of the Fidanza 2.1 but was thinkin about a king cobra too. Any tips?

Almost everyone here is a Dual friction fan made by Centerforce so thats more than likely what i'll go with when i install the clutch in a month or two.

A race car builder here locally said only get the Centerforce clutch and not the flexplate. i can't find a place that sells them seperately. he said go with a king cobra flexplate and a centerforce clutch so i don't know, i'll prob get the Dual Fric kit.

As far as flywheel's go i've heard a lot of good things about the Fidanza's

The C/F D/F is def a great street clutch. Not too shabby on the track either. Has very easy pedal effort as well.

I have a Centerforce in my other toy, a Dodge Ram. It makes my have clutch envy when I drive the Mustang. After a few weeks of driving my Mustang. It's hard to not get in the truck and slam the pedal into the carpet. Feels like it's been disconnected. For reference. I can push it down with my hand.
