I have a "Power Torque" clutch from Advanced Auto. Supposedly it's from the makers of Zoom. It's a diaphram type pressure plate and it cost me $156. Holds pretty good if you ask me.

I am running centerforce stage II in my 88 truck with a ho 383 and like it. I was running a CF stage II in my 454ed blazer and it was ok, moved up to the CF stage III and after it broke in I like it.

I had a Centerforce Dual Friction in my truc for a while...THEY ARE WAY overpriced. Plus the Centerforce TO bearing is CRAP, mine went out in less tahn a year...Now behind my 454, I have a LUK ProGold. I LOVE IT, NEVER slips, deals well with my 4500rpm clutch drops with 37s and 3.73s /forums/images/graemlins/eek.gif It feels really nice...PLus I got it for like $160 for the Disc, TO bearing, PP, and alignment tool...Just an FYI, LUK makes all the Centerforce Pressure plates...my Centerforce DF had LUK stamped in the pressure plate...But if you are tight on $$$ I ewould get a LUK Rep Set...Great clutch and great price...I can get them for like $95 with everyting...

Mine's a 12" stock replacement diaphragm-type. The brand on the box was "Sach's" although "Borg & Beck" was stamped into the pressure plate and disc. Only $150. Included the alignment tool and TO bearing as well. It muscled my 7700lb crewcab around without slippage. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
IMO, the larger 12" diameter is probably just as (or more) effective than the 11" with a high-buck friction material. /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif

I have a Borg and Beck coil spring 12" clutch($60). Definetly go with 12", if you can afford it go with the centerforce dual friction, I couldnt afford it at $430. But it gives you something like 4 times holding capacity and a light pedal feel.
I am going to get a clutch set from Ott's friction supply.
For $150 I can get an 11" disk with ceramic on one side and organic on the other, new pressure plate and all the other stuff.
A guy at work was going to have them make him one with ceramic on both sides but all he would have is on and off with it. So he got one made with the dual facings and he says it works great.
Luk, Zoom and such are god clutchs, whatever ya get just don't cheap out and get a reman one.

I've got the Centerforce II behind my 407BB. The Centerforce 2 is just a repainted LUK with the weights on the diaphram...If ya look on the pressure plate, you can find the LUK symbol under the red Centerforce paint. /forums/images/graemlins/pimp1.gif

I got my LUK from dial-a-clutch as well. Great customer support and tech, I told em' what I was going to use the truck for, and that I wanted to put in the biggest clutch possible if I could upgrade, and they took care of me.
Yes LUK, very good clutch. Mine stood up to 80000 miles and 4 summers worth of truck pulling behind a decent big block untill I.............gulp............put an auto in. 12inch was like 225 i think. you got a small block so i'm assuming its 11inches and maybe cheaper. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
