I am not a big fan of centerforce clutches. My father had one in his chevelle and it chattered like crazy. We took it out of the car after a thousand miles and threw it out. Just my two cents about centerforce though

i've read good and bad about many systems.. My point is that a disc only cost about 100$; alluminum fly 400$ (approx) ... hell instead of dumping major $$ is this not a valuable option...

Everybody has good things and bad things to say about all clutch brands. Personally...My RAM powergrip HD is slipping like crazy after 5k. I know 3 people that use centerforce DF clutches. One is pulling the wheels in a mustang, 1 has a 3rd gen ls1/T56 that runs low 11's, and the other is a H/C Camaro that is also in the 11's. They are not having any problems (all on slicks also). Im probably going to get a centerforce myself.

just my .02

You said Centerforece DF... My set up could be : DF disk (Approx 100$), trow our bearing and allignment tool(50$??) a fidanza or textralia flywill (400$ appr) new master ans slave(180$ appr), any bolt kit, a drill mod... Keeping stock pressure plate.. thas about 7/800$, we could always argue that you can get a Tex for 1000$ complete..... I currently have bolt ons, eventually i`m looking at cam, heads, long tubes and a tune... Hmmm Choices choices
