Default 302 Clutch and roller rocker info needed

What is everyone running for clutches on their 302's?
Would like something with a little less pedal pressure and as good or better clamping force... been so long since I bought a clutch... WOW been thinking about using a double disc wondering if there is a good alternative?

Also is there a needle bearing roller rocker that will fit under stock valve covers... with drippers?

Centerforce usually has good pedal feel with higher clamping force as the RPM's go up. I ran one on a street car with no problem.

Center Force is a good set up. 1 clutch disk is fine. I have a Hayes in mine but I don't think it is as good as a Centerforce. (To lazy to change it). I use the Comp Cams Magnum rockers with the roller tip. The Cranes are good too. I Don't believe they will fit under the drippers though. Try them. You can always grind the drippers off if you want. I did that before and they worked fine.

This is what Sam recommended to me when I built my motor. I used the Comp Cams stamped steel rollers. I am happy with them. I did need to snip the ends off the drippers with a dremel..
