What Clutch to Buy???

[Ferf]

I am nearing the completion of my '65 Mustang and need to purchase a clutch. I am running a 347 stroker with around 425 HP and a Tremec 3550 tranny. What are you recommedations for a new clutch?

I have use a Centerforce DFC and did not like at all.It was too hard and chattered.Went to a Mcleod and have been fine ever since.

I have a Ford Racing King Cobra clutch and it works great. I'm surprised to hear that you didn't like you Centerforce clutch. I have heard good things about them too.

I too am surprised that you didn't like the CF DF. I initially used one in my Mustang behind the 393W and loved it-held up well on both the street and at the track. When it was time to replace the old Zoom clutch in my low power tote truck, it too received a DF and I am just as happy with it. No chatter in either application.

i had the centerforce in and out a few times,surface the PP and the flywheel,still chattered.Even had McLeod test everything.They couldnt find a problem and didnt want to sell me a clutch because they coudlnt find a problem with it,but i bought one anyway

+1 on the Ford Racing King Cobra. No issues, no chatter, performs good.

same here used one in my 82 Capri behind 500+hp 351W for 5 years with no problems and a lot less tendancy towards clutchitis!!

I am using a Centerforce DF clutch on my 408w, very happy with it too no chatter even with my aluminum flywheel.

Chatter is almost never a clutch problem if the disc and pressure plate are new. Unless one of them is defective.

I have the CF DF behind my 347 and like it a lot. Light clutch pedal, hooks up great.

I have a Fidanza 3.2 Kevlar clutch and love it. Grips great, very comfortable pedal and has never chattered. It holds up very well to my 550+ rwhp.

I have a friend local to me with a blown 302 in a Fox Mustang. When I asked him this question he said he likes his Spec Stage 2 clutch. He said it's smooth and works great on the street. Of course he's using a 157 tooth flywheel and a cable clutch. Not sure if you're using the original stock setup for your car or what.

Another vote for Ford's King Cobra. I have it behind my '87 5.0 engine and have no complaints.

I went with the CenterForce Dual Friction Clutch. It will be another few months before I get to drive the car so I hope it was a good purchase.

Mcleod super street pro on my 351w. Way better than my old cobra clutch setup

I agree our Super Street Pro kit would be a perfect selection for your application. Do you have a 157T or 164T flywheel?
