This is what I got and installing today:

Centerforce Dual Friction Clutches
Clutch Kit, Organic, 1 1/ 16 in. Diameter Shaft, 10-Spline, 10.4 in. Diameter Disc, Ford/ Mercury, Kit [align=left][/align]

Well, I just got finished installing and driving the new Centerforce DFX and let me tell you all, it had great pedal feel and I can tell once it seeds in, it will hook like a mother F*****. All new bearings, fork etc. The bad thing is the track will be closed before I get a chance to try it! LOL.

So which one did you buy. The one you pictured and described is the fual friction not the DFX
I satnd to be corrected.... CTF-DF021048 Dual Friction The pedel feel is great and it grabs hard about 1" off the floor. What are you running?
I put a D/F in my wifes vert and a DFX in my car. The D/F is def better for the street and it has worked very well at the track. The DFX is a lil aggressive for the street and awesome for the track.

I'm so pissed, the weather here in IL is 60* sunny and great for some racing however, I need more miles on this new clutch before I hit it hard. I do not want to glaze. How many miles do you reccomend before I pound on it?

I will not run the juice for awhile as much as that is going to hurt. Also, nice job on the inturnals....When did you blow it up?

I actually put about 600 miles on my centerforce d/f before I ever got on it.
The first time I got on it was actually on the dyno, I was just patient and it works great
