Default CenterForce DF Power Range???

I am currently running a Centerforce Dual Friction on my car with 414rwhp and 385rwtq NA.

I just installed a STS TT and am looking for 600-650rwhp. Does anyone know the power range this clutch is meant to handle?

I'm really not looking forward to swapping the clutch so if this one will hold I would like to keep it, if not, what is a good replacement for my application?

TIA

I ran my CenterForce with my 600 plus combo for awhile with no issues. Great clutch for the price, I would purchase another in a heartbeat.

with that power level centerforce will keep up for a couple of times...Change the clutch to a twin pack and you will be okay for a very long time

So what exactly is a "Twin Pack"? What Brand/Model would be an example of a good "Twin Pack"?

Thanks Guys
