This is the exact reason that Centerforce recommends a clutch break-in. Most self proclaimed experts really don't have a clue, so they treat everyone like a novice. This protects against customer complaints and helps insure their product's reputation.
I joined this site, not to spout off my knowledge, but to gain knowledge. I don't need to regurgitate my credentials. I installed my first Procharger a few weeks ago and I encountered a couple of problems. Not having the experience in this area, I figured that there were many here who knew more about the subject than I did. But, instead of just taking from this site and dissappearing, I thought that I could give advise in some areas that I may have some knowledge in. Never did I want to be confrontational, nor condescending. But, as I have found out, some members practice that style of posting and it is accepted here. I now see why one member stated, I was wasting my breath. If I offended anyone, you have my apologies.

calm down, thank you for your advice too. Don't know what to do but I will go with centerforce manual and drive 500 miles before I take it all out

At least it's more erect and not floppy anymore.

Shows how much you know:
I have my car for fun, not as a daily driver like many on this forum. I race for fun, not professionally. I have done most of the modding myself, which I believe makes me qualifyed enough to give informed advise. Driving the car at high RPM before the break in will lead to premature clutch failure. May not fail the first time, or with in the first year. In my opinion they are too expensive to ruin. Oh, and by the way I am a woman

well some of us do have actual race cars, and like i said these companys take all the guess work out of WOT performance. oh and my race car is 70 dodge dart swinger, thats been back halfed, full front tube chassis, a blown 1100hp small block, manual reverse valve body 727 torqueflite, and runs 8.7s consintintly, ive had it down the trac in 7.89 secs before and scared the crap out of me, so i took the bottle off. so do follow a manual they print them for a reason. p.s. those times are 1/4 mile times.

Dude! That's awesome. I don't think I will ever get that fast with my mustang. Mainly because I want to keep it streetable and to go buy groceries if I need to.

My buddy with his 2001 GT was in the same boat as you when he got his 3.90's put in.

Just get off of stangnet and start driving even late at night. haha

It's worth it for race day!
