Clutch Time
#2
for street/strip keep the stock steel flywheel as it has more mass and makes launching easier. For a clutch depends on power level and what your willing to deal with chatter and grip wise.
I have a spec stage 2 its a nice clutch grabs hard, holds all the power a stock motor can handle, but is a bit grabby and chatters with low revs. I don't mind the light chatter i get sometimes for the extra holding power i get.
Thats the only one i have personal experience with in a mustang.

i've heard ALOT of bad things about spec clutches, including a close personal friend of mine, not just on forums, but i've also heard a FEW good things about them also, but its enough of the bad that i personally will avoid spec.

Get a Centerforce Dual friction.

It isn't much stiffer than stock and is good up to around 450 RWHP I believe.
And with all clutches, you must surface your existing flywheel, the 25 bucks is worth it, and take the time to break the new clutch in.
I second avoiding the aluminum flywheel. I've heard that because of its low rotating mass, your launches will suffer and you'll get some bogging in first gear.
