CF 12" DF held GREAT!!!! I told everybody I'd update when I finally put my Centerforce 12" DF under some real stress, and I finally did so tonight...
Rough mod list:
ported 5.3 heads
comp cam
LS6 intake
full bolt ons
CF 12" clutch/PP/Billet Steel Flywheel
Built T-56
Built 9" rear w/ 4.30's
130 Nytrex N2O (guesstimated...)
mild suspension
26X11.50 ET Streets
I made a couple motor passes, launching at areas between 3,000&5,000 and it held up with EASE....
Last pass I launched at 4,000 on the kit, cut a 1.6 short time, banged the hell outta the gears, and the clutch held up FLAWLESSLY!!!!!
Its been driven now for 6,000 miles, launched on Nitto's more times than I can count, and it still is easy enough for me to drive as my daily driver (because it IS my daily driver lol)...

thats good to hear! I have had great success with my DF 12" also. Never launched on drag radials yet but it has taken a beating at the track and on the street! I just gotta figure out my problem with it not letting me into gear above 5500 or 6000rpm.(same problem as mjhoward)

I have no problem shifting at 6800 RPM's at all....but I also have a built tranny, and don't mind beating on it...
Mine disengages at the top, but that is because I have an adjustable master cylinder and set it there...
