Clutch recommendations

400 hp will take serious heads and/or a pretty big cam.
If you are a streeter, just about any old clutch will get the job done, unless you have big meats,highway gears, and a traction aider.In that case, the teener stuff won't take it,lol.
I've always been a streeter. I've always had B&B stuff in the past. But for my latest combo,I went Diaphragm. Most of the time now I prefer the diaphragm type.Okay, well, all of the time.My CF is over 12 years old, and has over 100,000 miles on it.For street I wouldn't have anything but rag.Old style rag, like 70s technology,rag.Remember I'm talking street.
Buy a spare organic disc, cuz they tend to spit out the springs from time to time, if you get aggressive.I go thru them about every 3 or 4 years.To me, the smooth engagement, and modulate-ability is so worth climbing under there from time to time.

Since you have never done it, how do you know that a sintered iron set up isn't streetable? The fact is, you don't. I can tell you, it is the easiest clutch to drive I have ever owned. You just have no idea what you are saying.

If I were to use a diaphram PP it damn sure wouldn't be the CenterForce pile of crap. All you have to do it put ONE on a balancer and no one would do it. Why spend any money to balance an assembly and then have that counter weight move around like socks on a rooster.

The FACT of the matter is while expensive, the sintered iron set up, done correctly, is easier to drive, easier on parts and smoother on engagement that anything else.

If you don't want to spend the money, use a rag disc, a Borg & Beck/Long PP so you can easily fit it to the flywheel, but you get the quick release of the Long style finger. The diaphram should be for birth control. Not a clutch.
