Clutch-Stock vs Performance
Hey guys im currently looking @ an 86 N/A that is listed in the for sale/for trade section here on the forums. The car has a rebuilt engine with 4k miles on it. I was wondering how will a stock clutch affect performance on an RX7 that has only 10 extra horses (personal guess) over stock that is currently using a performance clutch? Cause the performance clutch is currently on its way out....any help would be appreciated!

A performance clutch would make a difference even if the car was stock. A stock clutch will slip more on the high end of your RPM range than a performance clutch - and also remember, it's much better for double clutching than a stock clutch. Money wise for a stock car? Stick with stock if you're staying stock is my opinion. If you're going all out then get an ACT. 
Hey, where in Pasadena are you? When you get your FC let me know so we can take a ride down the 110. I'm in South Pas off of Fair Oaks and Oxley.

Centerforce Dual friction hasn't let me down yet. and my friend has it on his 99-Z-28 with gobs of torque. So far no complaints and a fair price and clutch pedal feel.
