I'd look at either:
http://www.advancedclutch.com/v3/app...tail.asp?ID=31 (HD-SS) (good for 245lbs of torque, 55% harder than stock to push down)
or for a stronger clutch but still reasonably streetable....

You don't want to run a pucked clutch disk. The HDSS has more than enough holding power, otherwise step up to the XTSS which uses a stronger pressure plate. It makes the pedal a little heavier but it's not a cable-actuated pedal so there's nothing to complain about.

If money is the primary concern I would check out an Exedy from clutchcityonline.com, they run about $269.

Exactly...HDSS is the way to go. And money shouldnt be an issue for the mass-market clutches like ACT, Centerforce, Clutchnet, Clutchmasters, etc.

Go with the HDSS, you dont want to skimp out with the Exedy. Its more than a stock replacement, can hold a decent amt of power and is extremely comfortable for the street.

I still have some ACT's/Fidanza's as well if anyone needs one hooked up :naughty: I would always recommend the HDSS for a daily driven car...there isnt a better setup IMO, especially with ACT's new reinforced PP's.

Basically the clutch hydraulic system has two parts. The master cylinder which is worked by the clutch pedal, and the slave cylinder which moves the clutch release fork. They're connected by a hydraulic line.

You press the pedal, the master cylinder moves fluid in the clutch line to the slave cylinder, which moves the release fork. If the slave cylinder is busted the pedal no longer has full control over the release fork because there is no direct linkage.
