clutches that use a high friction material like kevlar, etc are going to be more prone to some chatter. i have a little in reverse and on really low rpm takeoffs depending upon how much i slip it. there's none when the rpms are up or going through the gears. are centerforce clutches even rated? 90% more clamping force... on a stock stang... so thats like 385ft-tq? specs start at like 410ft-tq. driveability will be affected when running a superior style clutch, its just a known fact.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I if you add 90% to say 300lb capacity then wouldn't that be 300 + 270 = 570?
