clutch recomendation

Recommended Posts

I thought about getting a Centerforce clutch. I'm just not sure what the benefit would be to getting a centerforce 2 over a centerforce 1. I have a 3.0L stroker with a lightened flywheel (replacing the 240mm 2+2 flywheel with a 15 lb 225mm) I noticed that the centerforce 2 was about 3 lbs more. Will the benefits of a stronger clutch offset the extra weight??? I also have heard that the centerforce 1 clutches were basically the same as stock?? The clutch I have in now hasn't ever 'slipped', so I was kinda hoping to get away with buying the cheaper and lighter centerforce 1.

Centerforce 1 starts out as a basic clutch, but it has been modified to have the ring of weights that add extra clamping force as RPM rise. I have one and it is an improvement over the Daiken clutch I had from MSA. I love it.

No experience with the Centerfroce 2

Attachment shows Centerforce 1 box with picture of the weight ring attached to the fingers of the P/P. As centrifugal forces build the weights cause the P/P to grip the disc tighter and tighter (30% tighter).

Scott has the Centerforce II Dual Friction Clutch in his 77. I believe it's the "grabbing" power that is increased in the II. I know that there's absolutley NO slipping with this clutch. Even someone like me can rip through the gears and I'm no racer. Many other drive-line mods work with his set up so, naturally, I'm in the dark as to all the details.
