Clutch & Pressure Plate Recommendations
I want to know what your suggestions are for a good Street/Strip clutch setup. The car will be run on the street most of the time but will also be taken to the track every once in a while. I used to run Borg/Warner "Brute Force" but it is not available anymore plus it made the leg shake if traffic wasn't moving.
One suggestion was Centerforce Dual Friction but I have been hearing that if that clutch gets warm it will chatter starting out in first and reverse. I am wondering if the Centerforce II will hold up and not slip. The motor is a big block 402, approx. 500hp, in the middle of getting a M22, 11" clutch, 3:73 gears with 28" tall tires. Any help would be great.

Re: Clutch & Pressure Plate Recommendations
My buddy had a dual friction clutch in a '72 Z/28. The Z had a LS6 454, M22, 410s. I was the passenger to many 7,000rpm 2nd gear burnouts with that car. The clutch had NO issues, but the 8.5" 10 bolt finally did!!!!!

Re: Clutch & Pressure Plate Recommendations
Centerforce dual friction is all I use.

I had the dual friction in my 91 Iroc and I did not like it. It did not hold as well I thought it would. The pedal feel was nice though although it was a hydraulic clutch.

Re: Clutch & Pressure Plate Recommendations
How about a Hayes, Zoom etc.? I always ran the stock chevy pressure plate with the L88 disc about 50 years ago. Does those set-ups still work?
 I like a soft pedal.

Re: Clutch & Pressure Plate Recommendations
Yes, I use the Hays street/strip set up. Clutch pedal is like stock, holds ZL-1 with M/T ET Streets.
