Default Centerforce clutch follow-up question

Alright guys - now which one is the better choice for an '88 with 430 hp and about 400 lb-ft torque - the Dual Friction or the Centerforce II?
Thanks

Put a Center Force in my '87 Twin-Turbo 3 years ago. It has 454 fl lbs of torque at the rear wheels and the Center Force works great. I've never used the Dual Friction, so I can't give an opinion.

Thanks for the feedback guys. That Callaway must be a blast to drive! I guess my only follow-up question is - What about pedal effort? Is the Centerforce Dual Friction really stiff? How about the Centerforce II?

Centerforce DF pedal effort is the same as stock at idle. high rpm force is affected by weights on the diaphragm, but the pressure plate spring force is otherwise same as stock.
