Mal Wood at Warrick, you wont find people with more knowledge any where. They put a ba turbo clutch,pressure plate and flywheel in my 6.You can really notice the engine spinning up faster with just the lighter ba flywheel, so a true lightened one would be really good.

if the 5 speed is in good condition and running well then go a heavy duty clutch with a ceramic plate. i put a xtreme heavy duty clutch in my gearbox which wasn't in the best condition and it shakes and clunks everytime i use the clutch. but others use the same clutch in the same gearbox and have no problems. i have a xtreme lightened flywheel which is good as it allows the engine to rev up a bit quicker but having a lightened flywheel makes it alot easier to stall the car in normal driving. whatever clutch or flywheel you go its gonna be good having an extra gear and a clutch.

Ordered my clutch today. From Ford Race parts America. It's a King Cobra HD has about 40% more pressure then standard apparently and a carbon/copper clutch plate. With lightened billet steel flywheel all up was just under 1100 dollars

It depends how far you plan on going with the engine & how you plan on driving it as you're always better running the lightest clutch you can get away with for the sake of your driveline & drivability.

yeah i decided against the button clutch as it is going in for a flash tune and cam when the manual is in and with the 20's i didnt like the idea of the strain on the drive shafts and the diff. Just went a nice heavy carbon clutch hopefuly will be good
