Hry guys and gals, Flandy here.
i need some input, my clutch is junk on my 427 68 vette, and I'm considering a Zoom clutch set. Anyone install one of these units in the past? Thanks in advance for your input! Flandy

I put a factory, OEM LUK set-up in mine. I didn't see the need to spend the extra $$$ on anything else. It worked well for 24 years, but then again, it only had 43,000 miles on it. 
Whatever you use, be sure to ask/check on the apply pressure, and how much increase pressure, if any, there will be on the pedal/linkage. High pressures at the pedal will have an adverse effect on the firewall area, and can change the geometry of the linkages if the mounts(engine/trans) are not in good shape. The "CenterForce" is a good set-up, as it uses centrifical force to apply more clamping pressure, without having a hard to push clutch pedal. My 2c
