And once again, clutch suggestions

I'm about to bolt a T2 engine to an NA tranny and need a clutch suggestion. I've been considering the Centerforce clutch, since it's suppose to have more gripping power but same drivability. What do you guys thinks?

i've used all three and have been happy with all three ... but that's the order of my preference.

Well, this first round is just to get the MegaSquirt to work properly, so i'm not looking for above 200HP at the wheels for the moment. Once i start looking for power, i'll change the tranny.

I have had good luck with the centerforce dual friction pressure plate, and equal luck with the racing beat street/strip pressure plate. As far as the clutch plate I have always been an avid fan of the 6 puck sprung loaded from RB. The straight six puck is way to ubrupt to use as a daily driver, unless you can tolorate it.

Wouldn't the balance of the engine be off if you used that?
