    Depending on your power level, Centerforce dual friction will not disappoint. Be sure to also go with Centerforces own release bearing along with a fresh pilot bearing. Flywheel machined properly on a grinder and you'll be all set.
    Almost forgot, not a fan of Spec clutches (chatter). With the clutch technology we have today, you can have a clutch with big holding power and stock (or better) driveability + light pedal pressure.

    I ran a Spec 2+ and was happy with it, but opted for a Spec 2 this time around. Haven't noticed excessive chatter yet - still in the break-in process - but feels at least as good as my King Cobra. Centre force is da bomb, but a little expensive. Terry had a CF DF a few months ago for sale. I found Sitinger-performance has a great deal on Spec clutches, complete with TOB, tool, pilot bearing.

    heres my take on CF...seeing as how I had one in my turbo car...they slip

    if the engine has a lot of torque & not a lot of revs the centrifugal weights cant apply enough force

    to lock up the clutch...I had problems...now I have a SPEC stage three in there...its on or off...

    never slips & I dont recommend it for the street...you need an educated foot & fairly robust leg

    its more of an all out race clutch...I like it tho

    I have a centerforce DFX and it gold 400+ ft lb of torque at 3000 rpm no problem. I launch my car 5K and shift at 7200 rpm. No issues other than the pilot bearing is going
