Default Dfx

Thinking of getting a Center force DFX. has anyone used these, are they any good . are they like a light switch on or off. I got a 99 ta m6 ,it has a ram clutch that slips on a 125 shot at the track . so this is what i was going to buy .Please leave some info if u had one. Thanks

my buddy has a vette with one and it's pretty decent. you'd just have to get used to it. It's not like a light switch but it's much closer to one than the stocker. I'd put one in my dd if i needed it. I got it to operate relatively smoother as i drove it more and it didn't chatter or anything. i'd go for it man.

I've been beating on my dfx for 18k so far. Drives nicely but it will chatter if you don't get the revs up from a stop.

mine was good til i poped a spring outta the disk... called centerforce and was told i was the first to ever do so... blown rear driving 25 mi to my buddys house was not nice to it .... i like the dfx pp the best outta all the ones ive drove and used .... but im realy loving a ram 6 puck disk that was 150ish on jegs 26 spline 10.5 inch gm car... its 100 times better then the dfx disk.. its not nosiey nore to grabby but it grabs just right... imo the dfx was made for track uses not for drag its a lol but hard to slip coming outta the hole ... but good clutch set up 1000 times better then monster and spec stages 3's just my .02

With all that dead hooking and pulling one wheel in the air how did you run a 14 second 1/4 with a 4+ sixty foot? And how is your best pass a 12.97 @ 110? That doesnt add up.
