What is the largest clutch that can be used with T-5?

I have a 168 tooth flexplate with my auto tranny and will be putting in a T-5. I don't want to go with the stock smaller 153 tooth flywheel with the T-5, I want to stay with the larger diameter 168 flywheel. What clutch can I get that is larger for this?

Won't happen with the stock bell housing. You're stuck with the 10.4" clutch.

I wouldn't worry too much about it though... a Centerforce Dual Friction one held onto my roller-cam 400 pretty well. Use that, or some other top-quality aftermarket unit, you'll be fine.

McLeod makes a 10.94" clutch for T5's, I have one. McLeod's better than Centerforce anyway.
