A lot of the guys running sticks around here are running Spec clutches: http://www.specclutch.com/specMain.php

I'ev got no real experience with them myself. I guess the stage 3 is pretty hot, but maybe a bit much for some people on the street. I know of at least three guys driving them more or less daily on the street.

Personally, I've got a dual friction clutch, and I'm not sure about it. I've had it for quite some time now, and I think it's starting to go on me. I think they are good clutches up to a certain point, but if your going pretty quick, I don't think I'd recommend one.

McLeod Street Twin. I just installed this setup on my 69 firebird along w/ a new TKO 600. They are supposed to be good up to 800+ hp. I haven't got it on the road yet but the clutch assy. installed easy and the feel is not too heavy.

They're pricey, ~$1000 at summit for the alum flywheel. The steel version is somewhat less.

Ah yes. I know a guy around here with, you guessed it, a mustang, but the only thing he could get to hold was a McLeod twin disc setup. Good stuff if you can afford it.

They're expensive but not too much more than other high performance single disk setups. A quick look at clutch assys at summit:

Center force DF ~ $260 + steel flywheel ~$260 = ~$520. The McLeod twin disc (steel flywheel) is $860. "Only" $340 more for a much better clutch.

An alum flywheel (Centerforce or Hays) is $400 - $600 ($660 - $860 total). The McLeod twin disc (alum flywheel) is $975 and still not that much more.
