is the centerforce clutch any good
i was thinking of getting the centerforce dual friction clutch and pressure plate for my 87 t2.is this clutch any good. i am looking to have my car around 300-350 horsepower at the wheels. will this clutch support this. let me know if there are any better clutches and where to get them. i will probably be doing alot of autocrossing with the car and some drag racing too if it matters.

I had a Centerforce dual friction some time back - broke it in to the letter, and still had problems with it slipping under power.
IMHO, the weights are just a gimmick. Some people have had good luck, some people haven't. I'd get an ACT setup or the like - tried, tested, proven, and reliable.

I'm one of the had good luck guys. But, to qualify, I'm a dailydriver stock drivetrane except for minor things like lightened flywheel, free flow intake and exhause.

My car came with a CFDF when I bought it. At the time I didn't know it. The rest of the car was stock so I assumed the clutch was a worn out OEM unit. All I knew was that it felt like junk, held for nothing, and had an inconsistant feel. I bought an ACT heavy duty clutch disk and heavy duty pressure plate to replace it with. When I did drop the tranny, there was a CFDF sitting there. It still had lots of life left in it, but I thought it was worn out going by feel alone. Once the ACT set went in, I never looked back. Buy ACT over CenterForce if given the choice and you'll be happy. CFDF is not worth it. ACT is well worth the money.
