Well, I just had my burned up centerforce replaced with a Spec Stage 3 clutch and boy is it a lot different. Clutch engages much quicker than the centerforce and the pedal is much heavier. It's going to take a while to get used to that. However, I am sure it'll now hold my HP... So, I'll sacrifice a little driveability for the strength of holding over 500 FT. Torque..

I'll be calling you soon for a new tune... I am just breaking the clutch in correctly and you were TOTALLY right!! However, the funds just were'nt there and a good friend local who owns a performance shop hooked me up.. We should be between 525 and 550 after your tune... The methanol really helps keep the intake temp. down... It's a great cheap way to keep it safe while I save for the intercooler..

My dual friction gave up at around the 375-400 rwhp level. My next one will probably be a SPEC.

Spec is hit or miss - our Spec 2 was a complete miss. Piece of high priced junk. Replaced with a King Cobra (a bargain and good for at least 350 RWHP) and have never been happier.
