Question Recommend me a new clutch

Man, It's been a while. I have been trying to stay away from the board, it makes me crave the truck too much, now that it is in storage. But, I must ask this: My truck needs a new clutch (has a saginaw 4-speed). What is a good one to get? I want something a little better than stock with a little more grabbing power to it...any recommendations?

Centerforce is a very good clutch- it holds up very well.

I have a Centerforce Dualfriction. So far, I like it. I used to get a little chatter with the old clutch when I would back up. Now with the new flywheel, clutch and pressure plate, it's smooth and grabs good. It's also daily driven.

"Ditto" on the Centerforce ! My longhorn runs a dual friction setup ......i like the lite "feel" of a diapragm plate, but still have the clamp, with the weights on the fingers. My clutch has been abused pretty good, & hasnt given a bit on trouble.....
