Well... Turns out I need a new clutch for my 2014 gt. Should I just get another OEM clutch setup back in? Car doesn't have any power adders. Prob making 400-420 wheel. Car is driven daily and has it's spirited driving moments. What is the best clutch to fit my needs? I would like a close to stock feel if I do go aftermarket. Or is another OEM one good? Let me know what you guys think! Thanks.

I have heard Exedy works great - even in a car that shifts at 7500.
Byan, it sounds like an OE clutch would be the best replacement for you. Unless you are increasing power quite a bit, or tracking the car often, you will not see much benefit from an upgraded clutch.
Yeah that's what I ended up going with, an OE clutch. Feels great, much lighter than the original one I had on the car? Guess the first one was already starting to give out, I have no clue.
Shouldn't feel lighter at all. If the clutch was giving out you would know it via slippage, otherwise there isn't a whole lot of indication unless the fingers on the PP are fatigued. The OE pressure plate clamping force isn't extremely consistent. Personally I feel a Mach 500 is an excellent replacement for a dd car that sees no or little track use.
What about someone with 700whp? Mcleod?
Best bang for your buck with that kind of power. RXT for track and street use, RST for street only.
I went with the RST, it's a little easier to modulate in stop and go driving and probably a little easier on the transmission.

But would the rst handle that kind of power?
RXT took out my trans almost immediately, I'm very happy with my Exedy 500 and alum flywheel at around that power level give or take. Best part is it was <350.00 shipped and driveability is a ton better than the RXT. Much quieter as well. I could see the Exedy 500 going out quick on a slick and frequent launches. On the street and track with my drag radial it's perfect.
I'm in the market for a clutch too, What about the Exedy 600 & 700 series? Or McLeod extreme street? They r rated to 700tq, anyone with experience with those?

It's rated for 800HP. Your tires will go up in smoke before the clutch does.
Would also like to know more about the Mcleod Super Street and Extreme kits. Who uses them?
I need a clutch for my car too. Shop near me told me around $600 for install. Trying to get one under 400 with slave cylinder etc
Centerforce does not make any upgraded clutches for are cars with just bolt ons?
I had Centerforce before in different car and was happy with them was wanting to go back to them.

I just bought a McLeod Street Extreme for my Whipple'd '11 GT. Will be installed in the next two weeks. I'll give feedback on it after install.
Geezus $600?? Bring it down to SC and I'll help you put it in for $250. I hate to tell you but with the exception of the Exedy OEM Replacement Clutch Kit (Part number FMK1026) you're not going to get very close to the $400 mark. Even that kit is $440.
Here's a link.
