I had that clutch on my car and I gotta say it did'nt last to long on nitrous so if you're not spraying you might be alright

I know friends who have gotten very good life out of them. They are putting down 400+rwhp, one of them a stroked 351.
My current set up is a Centerforce dual friction disc and FMS HD pressure plate. I've had thiscombo since 1998!

mine lasted the drive to the track, about 10 passes with a 125 shotand thenthe pedal stuck to the floor when I launched it and it burned up bad, then it wouldnt stop slipping, it is not bad for a 300rwhp car without nitrous, but some peopple have good results with them,
Iwent with a spec stage3 for my next project.

Alot of people in my area have had really BAD experiences with centerforce. I myself have never had one so... But I do have a Spec Stage 2 clutch, and once you learn how to drive with it.. its a nice comfy clutch

I have a centerforce and love it. I don't really have that much done to my car but it makes a great clutch for daily driving. It grabs pretty hard and the pedal isn't to stiff. I had a ford hd clutch before and man that pedal was so freaking stiff. I hated driving the with it.
