Clutches for T-5
Looking for input on new clutches for my '91 Z28. Currently looking at the SPEC Stage II and the McLeod 11" setup. This is a mild 305 TPI and stock T-5. Will be putting new motor in at some point and want something that will hold it. Was looking at the Centerforce DF, but it has been getting some bad reviews lately.
Thought or input?

McLeod 11" and their pressure plate are what I have. No complaints.

I'm running the Centerforce Gold and the only problem I've had is the throwout bearing going bad. As far as grip, no problem and I'm running a 400hp 350.

I just got the centerforce dual friction put on about a month ago. It grips really well - i think its way enough for any build up 305. I was looking at buying the McLeod as well, but the price is very high. If money were no object, i would go with the McLeod just because I've heard so many good things about them.
