Centerforce Dual Friction

Posted by 9Roush8 (Member # 2472) on :

I would definitely say centerforce dual friction.. holds awesome [Whoo Whooooo!]

Posted by mtbaughs (Member # 4052) on :

I think centerforces are garbage. I've seen way to many problems with them. I'd run a dual kevlar clutch bought locally in the south bay. They hold that power no sweat and have excellent pedal effort

$350. All I know is the clutch grabs. I think one side is organic, and the other kevlar.

Centerforce Clutches are HORIBLE!

Spec isn't much better.

I'm using a Mcleod now, and so far it is top notch.

which one drew?

King cobra here, I have used the same clutch on my blown 66 that went 11.4 @ 119 and swapped it over to my 91 347 when I tore the 66 down. Great clutch for the price. I have beat the s*** out of it on slicks. Still ok. It is amazingly how simple it is and how well it works too.

Hmm, last time I checked which was yesterday you could buy this clutch from Mustang Ranch, Apex, Dyno Labs, Modern Driveline or directly from Robin @ Superior Friction. Lets get our facts straight on this and not confuse fellow club members as a means to forward your sales. [Roll Eyes]

Our profile is set to our spec's. That's what makes it an Apex clutch. Yes you can buy it else where but it is not set to our specs. [patriot]
