Default Centerforce 11" or 12"

I've decided on a centerforce clutch guys, which one is better the 11" or 12"? Why is the 12" cheaper?

Thanks

How big is the stock flywheel? 11" correct? I'm going to use the stock flywheel so I should get the 11" right? Help a newb transmission guy out, sorry if I missed a thread on this somewhere, I'm at work and don't have time to read that much.

Thanks

I just bought the 12" Dual Friction Centerforce and I love it. It grabs hard and it has smooth engagement throughout the gears. I also bought there 12" billet steel flywheel, but i think the stock one is 11".

Talk to Will at Centerforce about what might be best for you. He lurks around here occasionally too.

(800) 932-5882 Dial 0 and ask for him.

The last time I heard about centerforce clutches was like 3 years ago and they supposedly sucked for the LS1's.
Have they changed their design? I remember they had some decent pricing.

After a nasty thread in here, I spoke with Will at Centerforce for a while on the phone. He did say that they have some new design LS1 clutches that are supposed to work well. I strongly suggest talking to him directly about the clutches.

Yeah, from what I've read here, get the 12" flywheel and clutch. It's the newer, updated and supposedly better version.

Don't quote me on that.
