Default Which clutch is best to keep pedal pressure to a minimum?

I have a bad left leg so I want to keep clutch pedal pressure to a minimum. What clutch should I use. My engine will be a Ford Motor Sports 392W (430HP, 450 ft-lbs torque)with a TKO500 in a Backdraft racing Cobra.

I'm using a Centerforce clutch behind a 351W with a Tremec 3550. While recovering from extensive back surgery I found the discomfort in my lower back created by pressing with one leg was much less in the SPF than when shifting my Subaru Impreza. The length of travel is greater but the effort is less.

The Centerforce provides excellent control of the 'take up' in the clutch action.

Centerforce clutch are known for this. Of course there are other ways to deal with the effort expended, why work backwards. They hold very nicely to. Just don't over clutch the car. Contact Centerforce and they can make a specific recommendation.

I do not know what type of activation setup you have so I can not comment on that.

McLeod Streettwin-It is designed to hold 900HP but the tension can be adjusted down to match your power level.

Centerforce isn't much more than a stock clutch with a gimmick.

No question, a Centerforce I has the lightest pressure I have ever felt in a performance clutch
