I was more or less getting an idea if you guys went aftermarket or stayed stock. Thogh most of you have the luxury of hydraulic actuated clutches, I got a cable, so going beefy requires a heavier pedal.
I went aftermarket to a heavy-as-hell ACT Xtreme/2600lb pressure plate with a street disc. I really didn't mind the pedal pressure but it never disengaged right. Then I moved to a South Bend 2200lb pressure plate with their organic/ceramic full-face/puck (yes, it's a weird and confusing clutch). That's been working pretty well for a while now. In my case a stock clutch would last for the duration of one launch before fraying into a million pieces of kitty hair, if it even held up that long, so I don't have much choice.
