Default 69 TA clutch ?s

What brand of clutch would be a good fit for 69TA w/ 4 spd? There are so many different brands (centerforce, mclead, RAM, Hays, etc) and styles for each brand. I was thinking the centerforce daul friction system, but not sure.

The McLeod B&B is rated for 1,200 hp! I wish that I had to worry about 1000+ hp. I need to decide between the McLeod Super Street Pro or the RAM HDX clutch kits. I'm going to get the stock flywheel resurfaced. Any suggestions between these 2?

I talked to a local guy that re-surfaced my flywheel and said that RAM clutches are junk. I guess that leaves the McLeod Super StreetPro. Is anyone else running a McLeod clutch?

I bought my Mcleod from Scott Esterly at Summit.I believe it is a 2400 lb B&B.Just put the same one in my 62 GP and also have one in my 63 421 Lemans.I have used them for 12 years or so and really like they way they work.EVERYTIME I have taked to the tech dept they have tried to over clutch for my applications.FWIW,Tom

I have the CenterForce DF in mine. I broke the shifter and had to drive it home in 5th gear!! I thought it would be toast, but it's still running strong. 5th gear is 1 to 1 with 2:56.1 out back. The only thing with the CF is a slight noise from the weights on deceleration.
