Give the guys over at <a href="http://campaigns.ford-trucks.net/campaigns/direct.php?log=yes&bannerid=279">Carolina Clutch</a> a call. Tell them what you have and what you want, and they'll set you up. They're a sponsor and were good to work with. I recently purchased a LuK upgrade from them and they drop shipped it from Temecula, Ca to save on shipping costs.

I was looking at a SouthBend clutch, but i know LUK makes good ones too. You would be looking at something a little stronger than a stock replacement, to handle an extra 100-140 flywheel hp. Look for a clutch in the 350 rear wheel HP range.

I went with a South Bend Clutch. There are four different power levels that you can choose from. I decided on the "Con O" it can handle 350 hp & 750 ft lbs of torque. The first time that I drove the truck after the install I couldn't believe how smooth and light the pedal was. It's almost as light as the pedal on my Wrangler now. I spend way too much time drivng around NJ and NYC in stop and go traffic and this clutch has made it almost painless.

I have a Southbend and will be installing it soon, i can not say enough about the customer service. Any questions i had Peter answered. But Carolina clutch is also a good one so i don't think you can go wrong with either... Just make sure you get the upgraded clutch fork and the Kevlar bushing...
