I would get the Centerforce Dual Friction.

The Centerforce DF is the best clutch setup I have ever had. Great holding ability with very light pedal pressure. My daily driver 90 Honda Prelude has a stiffer clutch than my Centerforce Dual Friction. You won't go wrong by using one. About the best $260 dollars I've spent on my car.

Have not had the car to the track with this clutch so I can't say how well they hold up to serious strip abuse, but I have played around on the street with my solid roller cammed 550HP 454 (an estimate), 150hp of N2O and a set of 29x11.5 Hoosier QTP's and it had no issues with the clutch or in holding the power.

Mcleod 12" diaphragm that fits the 11" bolt pattern.

I'm with Scott - I just wished they were less expensive.

Great replies Guys. Thanks.

The 12" idea is interesting. Think the more weight is worth the benefits?

I usually use a Zoom 10.5 3200lb. set up.

Thought I would get some ideas...time for a new one soon.

I'm also using the 12 inch Kevlar with a McLeod flywheel. Seems to send all of the 454's power to the tires.
