Centerforce

...that is if you don't mind paying $80 for the Pilot bearing that's not included in the kit

 

Spec Stage 3.

Of course, I picked up a new kevlar Zoom clutch for $90, so that will have to do for now. Stock clutch + Turbo = Smoke

 

Centerforce = crap
SPEC = badass

I have a stage 2 in my car, grips like a mother fucker and the pedal pressure is softer than stock. You should go with a stage 3. It can chatter quite a bit but it grabs extremely hard. As often as you drive your car I say go with a SPEC stage 3. All SPEC clutches come with a new throwout bearing as well.

 

Another vote for SPEC 3.

 

I run a King Cobra, but everyone that's ran a Centerforce had only good things to say about it. Have you had a bad experience with a Centerforce?

 

I ran a King Cobra in my old 5.0, great clutch for the money. The Centerforce I have not had any personal experiences with it, but from the research I did before I bought my SPEC stage 2 for my Cobra, there are a ton of people who have had Centerforces come apart on them. I've seen some pics of Centerforces coming apart. Come to think of it, first time bitemark46 had his car at the track with his Centerforce, it started to slip and burn the clutch disc on his burnout. Last time I talked to him he was talking about getting a SPEC clutch also. Honestly I don't think I will ever buy another clutch product that isn't a SPEC product. Everyone who has bought a SPEC for their Mustang that I know has never said anything negative about it.

 

Ditto on the praise for the Spec. Never heard or seen a complaint. If I hadn't been tight on $ and needed a clutch real bad, the stage three would have been in my garage.

For 500 hp, the Stage 3 is what you need. 450 and under, go with a Stage 2. Of course, what tranny are you running that 500 hp through? Better be something like a Tremec 3550. Much less and you will be breaking frequently. Of course, I should talk, my car still has the original T5.
