Another big factor in pedal effort is the quadrant.

It probably is overkill for a mild 5.0, but hopefully in the next couple months my car will be making 450+ ft-lbs.

Hopefully, in a few months, my car will be making 700+ ft-lbs of torque.

Re: Interesting SPEC clutch review...

Why does everyone keep saying stuff about quadrants? I could hardly tell a difference when I changed mine, and pretty much everyone has an aftermarket one.

The Quadrant is nothing more than a lever pivoting opposite your foot on the pedal. The different size/throw in the quadrant yields different effort required; also the fork length, pivot height, and clutch diaphram strength determine clutch "pedal feel."
