Its time to replace the clutch in my pony.

I loved the holding power of the SPEC "stage 2" clutch. It was fairly harsh though and chattery. If that's even a word??

My stang is KenneBell blown to a tune of 452BHP and 411RWTQ.

I have been looking at the Centerforce Dual Friction set up to try something different. Some places boast it holding 600+HP. But what caught my eye is its a little easier on the leg muscles than the SPEC.

I do have the FRPP hydraulic "throw-out" cylinder/bearing installed so I know that is contributing to the shaky leg muscles at long lights or inclined stops.

Anyone with experience with a similar application or just general in depth knowledge please pipe up!

i have the CF DF on my 07 with Whipple at 449 rwhp/ 419 tq
it holds very well. clutch is light, almost like stock. very good street manners.
and holds well when i get on it.
if you need more holding power, get the DFX. friend of mine has this on his 600+ rwhp Terminator and loves it.

i also have the Spec stage 2 on my 2000 GT.
it is much heavier, chattery, but holds well too.

if you drive on the street, i would go with the CF DF, or for more holding power go with the DFX.

What I have for the moment is fine, power wise. Besides I made a n00b error three years ago and didn't put a brake upgrade on. I've been eating through a set of rotors and pads every summer so far.

Thank you for the insight!!!

I have the Spec 3+ , it holds the power great but its a true on/off clutch. I have not experienced any chatter.

I have a centerforce df and love it. I have read many mixed reviews about spec however. Not worth the risk of doing it twice in my eyes

Spec makes a great product, I love the way the stage 2+ feels, had one in my 06v6...I wish I would have gotten an aluminum flywheel though
