clutch for FI I am thinking of using a DFX with my 408 with a v3 t trim . I have herd a dfx is like a on off switch. Is that true ? Is this clutch mild manor or is it to aggressive for the street. who is using the dfx , and do u like it .
I dont know who DFX is but most aggressive single disk clutches will be like an on/off switch. I have a Textralia OZ and my friend has a Monster Stage 4, both are like this. Im either going to go to twin disk or switching to an auto, leaning towards auto...
You will never waste money with buying a twin disc over any single disc setup. I had a ceramic single disc and it was very jumpy and it finally broke itself. The disc itself broke where it rivets to the spring hub. I bought a twin disc for only a few hundred more than what I payed for the single disc. I like it a lot more. Just my $.02 worth.

T1S-G01 850 HP both with organic disk material great street manners, for $890.00 shipped to your door, you will never have to worry abour your clutch again
At the old EPP shop we had a Spec Stage 3+ in a customer's 864 rwhp CTS-V. It's been in there for quite a few years now without any problems, as well as in quite a few other cars. The Spec 3+ is still a single disc, but it is a least half the price of most twin disc. The 3+ is a full face design so engagement is pretty smooth. Bob

the "puck" style single clutch discs are the ones that are really on/off.
I drove a Mcleod twin disk in my buddies 900rwhp+ turbo LS3 setup and it was like factory. Incredibly light pedal pressure and no grabby on/off symptoms. Rated at 1200 ft/lbs.
I would spend the extra coin and get a twin disc setup from a reputable manufacturer.

i killed my spec 3 and went with a monster level 6. have a couple thousand miles on it and like it. small engagement window and makes a little noise now and then but it grabs great
for what its worth i would have gone with a twin disk but $$$ and im pretty happy so far

just killed a Spec 3, to be fair it had 25k. No track time but alot of Mexican mile action. Car was putting down 615/530 on a hot summer day, this cool weather helped w/ the boost and the clutch said "FU!!!"
Switching to a McLeod RST twin.

The Stage 3+ that I was referring to has a much higher torque capacity than the Stage 3, and is a full face design for much smoother engagement.
FYI... lol Bob

One thing i learned over the years with clutch companies
is they all and i mean all will tell you our clutch feels like stock or better then stock until you buy one.
(Spec and Monster are perfect axamples )
You know they are pulling your leg just so they can sell you one, there is know way you can have a single disk clutch to hold back over 650 HP-TRQ engine and have it feel like stock unless you go into a twin disk clutch.
(bottom line)
Ben there too many times with singles, went to a dubble and will never use a single again.
Sorry singles.

ACT Twin Disc T1S or T2S
The high HP vette guys seem to love them. Same clutch. My buddy is putting one in his car in a couple weeks. I also picked up one for my car for whenever it is drivable again, who knows. It's a nice looking piece.
I had a Textralia OZ700 that took a crap with a stock motor and boltons.
