Centerforce Dual Friction or newer DFX?

I have Mcleod everything and it feels kind of harsh, but also feels good. I have heard horror stories on centerforce with anything over 600hp.

Can you provide any specifics to these horror stories? Were these street driven cars without street radials having probs? Or hard launches on slicks at the track?

My buddy Mike (another Mike) had a centerforce and had about 700hp on wide street tires and fried the cluch. He had it taken apart and found that the clutch disintegrated on him. Another buddy has a 69 camaro and he had the same thing happen. Took off fast and the clutch went. Just other stories of the clutch falling apart. Although I had several on many RX-7's and all worked fine.

Thanks Maz. I think we are gonna start out trying the DF and see what happens. I will only be running a 275 rear street tire so there will be no traction whatsoever. My builder has never had issues with the DF with fairly powerful applications so we will just see what happens...

I saw your car at the show yesterday... damn, looks great in person! That motor is super clean and is nicely done.

Thanks for the nice comments Dave. The good thing about the DF is light pedal pressure.
