Default Anyone running the centerforce dfx?

Is anyone running the centerforce dfx? Is it too much clutch for my 01 cobra? Any input would be awesome!

the DFX is a wonderful clutch. i have DF CF in my 89 which i understand they arent the same but CF really has done their homework on these. i test drove a 00gt that had a DFX and it felt just like my CF DF. very light pedal but grabs HARD!

People are telling me that the dfx might be too much clutch for my 01 cobra. People at SVTP are telling that with the dfx i might start to break the input shaft and things with it. IS that true

Was the 00gt basically stock? The only thing im worried about is that the clutch grabs so good i might break something!

it was full bolt on...so yea basically stock.

the DF CF is probably more than enough clutch than you'll need.

I'd go with the dual friction, its plenty, thats whats going in my 03 in a few weeks, supposed to hold up to 600hp, but be lighter than the DFX

Well the only reason im asking is because the dfx is already at my house right now and the car is jacked up in the garage about to be put in. Id rather have the car tied up for a little longer and get the right clutch than break something with too much clutch. So thats why im debating and asking who is running the dfx and if its too much. I really dont want to send it back and wait for another clutch to arrive.
