Default Centerforce Dual Friction

Anybody have any experience with these clutches? I can order it at work for a good price. I will be replacing the clutch/flywheel. Somebody give me the Pros/Cons please.

Centerforce has kind of been pushed to the back of the line over the past few years since everyone and their brother are offering clutch kits now days. I personally have zero experience with them in relation to the LS based applications. They work pretty well in the Ford applications with a cable clutch setup.

I've got one in my LT1 for the past 3 yrs. I've got about 15k on it. Only one track visit and a couple burn outs. Still feels the same as it did when I put it in. Because of that, I went complete 12" clutch kit & billet fly with brand new GM master/slave. Didn't drive it yet still waiting for my tunner. The problem is they say 500miles to breakin, I don't drive that in a month especially in traffic. We'll see if I'm 2 for 2

I have the 11 inch centerforce DF and flywheel. It lasted around 15,000 miles of hard driving. The slave cylinder took a crap and smoked the clutch. I only have bolt ons right now so i don't know how it would hold for your cammed car. If you get a centerforce get the 12 inch disc and pressure plate. Im looking to get a monster level 3. Its about the same price but i think it holds more power.

I had a Centerforce DF in my cammed car. It held up great. I had it for over two years with a ton of track passes on it. Ran on street tires and DR's at the track. It didnt like the procharger to well lol. Thats when it said im out of here.
