That's only because I've had such good luck with the Center Force units though. My car makes about 425 and the Center Force hasn't ever complained. I also like how I can launch it at a lower RPM and it will slip some until the RPM's come up. It really helps to cushion the rear end from the shock of a clutch dump. Jonescap and I put a Centerforce DF in his 96 about 2 years ago. His is a stock-ish LT4 with a 150 HP shot of nitrous. It made 498 RWHP on the gas. He was launching the car on the bottle, lifting the front wheels, cutting mid 1.5's (with a best of 1.51) on all the STOCK rear end parts and never broke anything. The only change from stock was the 4.09 gears. Stock half shafts, stock spindles, and parts store U-joints. Nothing fancy at all. I attribute his good luck to 1) his driving ability, and 2) the clutch absorbing a good amount of the shock and applying the power to the rear end over time instead of all at once. Granted, the time period from clutch drop until the rear end was seeing all 500 HP was probably less than a tenth, but applying that power over a tenth is infinitely better than smacking the rear instantly with full engine power. |
