Check out the Monster LT1-S twin disc, rated to 700/700RW and drives like stock.

RPS BC2 works extremely well. Do not know if you will be road racing or drag racing; however, high rpm shifts are not a problem. This clutch has produced (64) passes in the 1.3s-1.4s.

Depends on your use. For roadcourse work the stock clutch is good to at least 580 rwhp. I have 54,000 miles on my stock clutch, 30+ track days and 580 rwhp. No problems yet. If you like hard launches and 1/2 shifts, you better upgrade.

Seen too many issues, and too many bad experience with CF. They offered me one for free and I still said no.

Centerforce Twin Disc DYAD Clutch - YouTube
6-8 years ago, I was right there with Unreal and they had to do a lot of work to get us to try one. In the past the clutches wouldn't shift at high RPM's, they had engagement issues....you name it.

They pushed enough that we tried one of the DYAD's a couple of years ago in a 427 F1X C5 making a little over 1000 hp and it worked without one single issue. Tried a few more in other setups....street cars, track cars....roll race cars. Over the last couple years we have had ZERO failures on any of the DYAD's we have installed.

Granted there are other clutches out there.....Tilton is still top of the list for a road race car but for those not wanting to drop that kind of coin and want something that drives close to stock, the DYAD is hard to beat.

There is an option for metallic disks to support 1500-1600 tq but driveablity is going to suffer with those. A Billet three plate should be done, just waiting on PN and pricing. Again it will be offered in a organic and a metallic version.

No.

Anthony, good to hear they newer ones are doing better. When I worked at a performance shop doing customer service/phones I still have nightmares from dealing with CF.

Glad to hear you are having zero failures with the DYAD's, I know most of the folks at CenterForce, have toured the plant many times, they strive to put out a quality product and have personally seen a lot of their clutches in high HP cars. When my stock clutch is done, I will be putting a DYAD in mine.
