any one tried the new centerforce DFX clutch?

I am looking into a new clutch and was wondering if anyone tried the new DFX series clutch from centerforce? Looks to be a good clutch that can stand some power with a nice peddle feel.

"Centerforce is proud to introduce this DFX clutch assembly for the 1993 to 1996 Mazda RX7 1.3L Twin Turbo. The new DFX line is the latest series of extreme performance clutches from Centerforce designed as a direct bolt in for perfect fit and function. DFX scores big, not only with holding-capacity and strength, but also provides some of the best drivability from a race-inspired clutch. All DFX performance clutch systems utilize a patented Ball Bearing design for light pedal and quick release, Nodular Iron pressure plate rings and reinforcements designed to help prevent drive strap breakage and safety. The Paddle or button style disc has been through constant testing of different friction materials and hub designs to bring the best possible combination available to you. The DFX part number 01950600 (Pressure Plate & Disc included) is now available. DFX Disc PN: 23950600 and Cover PN: 11950600 are also available as individual components. Please contact any Centerforce dealer or Centerforce directly with questions at 928/771-8422. "

What application are you looking at using it for?

I'm very happy with my Spec sprung 6 puck. Streetable, and grabs like a mother when you need it to . I've never heard good things about CF when it comes to FDs, I always stick with ACT or Spec.

I got one in my car now, and it slips. To4s turbo on 13psi I slip 4th gear every time at 6k and 3rd gear occasionally following a hard shift.
I did install it on a hand resurfaced flywheel though. (checking into getting that fixed now)

Also those silly weights (thought they where a grand idea at first) have a side affect of if you rev high in between gear shifts the weights plus centrifugal force of them can keep the clutch from engaging until the rpms drop. It stems from over pressing the clutch. I think you can adjust your pedal so it does not do this but I like my engaging point so I try not to press the clutch to the floor

Ok also, I just email them asking them a few questions. They said they're DFX kit for the Turbo model FC rx7 is rated at 375 ft lbs of torque..
I was hoping for something a little closer to the ACT extreme being around 420 ft lb's I think.. (don't quote me on that)
