Can't stress it enough. Dual friction all the way. It's super smooth on engagement and has the grabbing power of any other clutch out there! Ther's nothing like it IMO. It's worth every penny. Just make sur you get the Centerforce T-O bearing and pay attention how it goes on. I bought a Hays perf. set-up and it chatters if I engage it slowly or it will take off like I'm lining up at the tree! I hate it. I wish I went with CF DF. All of my customers love it. I am practically an ouside sales rep for centerforce....lol

I agree with RuffCat! I used to have a Centerforce dual friction on my previous 97 Cobra...it grabbed very nice!!!!!!! I also used to have a Ram clatch on it aswell! I was more satifisfied going with the Centerforce Dual Friction! Trust me you'll love it!!!!

well since you were more specific on the mods you have....look into SPEC III clutch!....maybe you'll like that clutch better than the ones you've mentioned....here's a quote from Spec Clutch!...."SPEC Clutch Kits are the new leader in aftermarket performance clutch. With over 7 stages (Spec Stage1, Spec Stage2, Spec Stage2+, Spec Stage3, Spec Stage3+, Spec Stage4, Spec Stage5) and total over 9000 clutch applications. Spec Clutch knows what your car need. Spec Clutch has a stock pedal feel with clamping power that is suitable for your car. When properly used, a Spec Clutch will last a very long time without any problems. Spec Stage5 performance clutches have been tested behind manual transmission vehicles with more than 1000hp and for less modified daily driven clutches, check out the Spec stage 1-3. Doesn't matter if you are interested in a stock replacement clutch, or a performance clutch to handle more power than your transmission can take, Spec has the perfect clutch for you!"

The RAM that i got is rated to hold 1000 rwtq, and is supposed to have a lighter than stock feel. MM&FF just did a a piece on clutches in the newest issue.
