What do you consider good power? I run a C/F DFX in mine. I like it. It's a lil grabby on the street though.

not really sure what this things gonna put out, but shouldn't be a slouch. a lil grabby wouldn't bother me, rather that then it slip. when i swapped the cummins in my truck a didn't ask around like a should of and put in a reg hd cluthc from the local parts store, put some 80 hp injectors in and now she slips, so time to do it again. just wanna avoid that with this car.
thanks for the reply

I have a centerforce dual friction in my 5.0 and it is a very streetable clutch. No chatter or misbehaving. According to Centerforce, it can handle big power. But in my experience, a good driver can make a weak clutch perform while it is easy for a novice to burn up even a strong clutch.

I use hydraulic clutch actuation.

i've got a mcleod clutch in mine and love it. it behaves very nicely on the street and has just a slightly firmer feel than a stock car. I'd deff order it again.

you gotta pay to play though.

shooting a rod through the block or shoving a countershaft out of a trans is manly...

burning out a clutch and getting stranded...
