i think that is because the centerfoce clutchs are made with a softer materal for better girp, which is like tires the softer the faster they wear out, i dont recomend spec clutchs they suck imo, i have a frpp heavy duty and it works great, also i have heard the king cobra is good to, i dont know of many people that like the ram clutchs ither.

May as well stick with the stocker.
But anyhoo, the King Cobra shouldnt be too bad for ya.

Don't suggest Centerforce, mine went up in smoke after a month and a half[:@]
