Default Centerforce clutch? Opinions

01Z, stock drivetrain exec air intake and exh.

Will be HPTE and Autox car but a lot of street time.

Having pedal issues, just changed master cyl.

Just get flywheel turned, arp bolts, clutch kit and HD throwout and new slave?

Is the pedal effort any higher than stock clutch? Any chattering issues?

I don't want a super expensive ace clutch if I don't need it!

I had the twin disk 12" little chatter, some noise when taking off sometimes embrassing when people are checking out yuour car and then sscccrrreeeaaacccchhhhhh. It held very good and is lighter then stock feel. The engagement is hight not low like stock. Will i buy the dual clutch again No because i have a Mcleod RST and it is simply awesome, in all ways.

I have the 12" dual friction clutch $400~
gm slave and centerforce throwout bearing.
resurfaced stock flywheel

clutch does make some noise when it is cold... but grips great and does not slip at all... pedal effort is very close to stock

I use a Centerforce clutch in my Pantera. I like it. It has a light feel on the foot, but since I drive really hard it will provide extra clutch pressure as the RPMs go up and I really get into it with hard shifts.

Here is a video of how I use this clutch in hard shifting. Meant to add it to my post.
