What clutch you guys using in the T-56?

I am swapping in a T56 and was wondering what a good clutch would be to get for a 450hp 383. I heard there were problems with the first Centerforce clutches in that tranny so I am hesitant to get one. What other good ones are there?

Try Star Clutches (205) 491-8581 (see the May 2001 issue of GM High Tech Perfomance). I bought a Level II clutch from them that is rated at 450 rwhp.

Billet Aluminum flywheel with street twin. Kinda pricey, but it will hold anything you can throw at it. I don't know anyone with a star, and the first time I had heard of it was in the latest GMHTP.
