Aftermarket Clutch?

Grrr, I was planning on making my car faster and now the clutch goes again! I swear this guy that did the work didnt do very good work for me. I dont care how hard you are on a clutch (im actually not that mean to it that often ) it shouldnt burn out in 3 months. Here's what Id like to know, first and foremost, I want to get a performance clutch, something that will take a bit more of an a** kicking, any suggestions? Then Im taking that clutch that kicks a** to a person that kicks *** and having the work done right. I might need a new flywheel too, anyone know where I can get a good deal on one?

you can't go wrong with the centerforce dual friction. My buddy has one in his 12 sec IROC and races every wednesday night...the clutch has been in it for 3yrs now...need I say more they are about $250 through jegs or summit also, change the clutch yourself, it is not that hard and then you will know it is right.

A performance clutch would be good and I haven't heard anything bad about them. Only that some seem to pop out (easier to stall). But I plan on getting me one when mine goes.

I've got a centerforce DF in mine and its great. I've got a friend that works at Lappens so I got the clutch and t-o bearing for $270... I think the clutch itself is around $270 out of Jegs though.
