Well I figured I would follow up and post these pic's for all just in case some one was in the market for a new clutch that they think was track worthy.

Evidentally this one couldn't pass the test. Centerforce DFC-

1. Stock clutch easy 100 passes with 6-8 75rwhp shots.
2. Centerforce DFC ~20 Passes no N2O.
3. Spec 2 up to bat, we'll see how this one works out.

Guess it would depend on your power level and application. N/A, I bet you would be good for awhile. If KONABLUE hasn't killed his yet I bet your chances would be good it will hold.

i got my car at 24k and at 34k and one summer it was hosed. only went to the track once and street tires. but to be fair, i relentlessly pound the shit out of my car on a daily basis.

How bout those high milage stangs! OE sometimes gets things right and there are a few parts on this car that have shown to work just fine or exceed. If this aftermarket clutch fails I will just go back to the OE clutch and call it a day.

Stock clutch still....Supercharged, 65K, drag, autocross, and open track. Not a hint of trouble.

My previous 10 second twin turbo '03 cobra still has its original stock clutch.

Damn you must baby your car, my clutch just took a crap at the same power as you are running. I have 13,800 miles on the car and only about 2,000 since I been blown.

My stocker lasted about 12k, 10k of that was 477 then 492rwhp. I was pretty impressed with the stocker. I have McLeod RST now and love it.

72K miles on my stock clutch and over 30 passes at the track. 85-90& of my miles are hwy so that helps. I do have another stock clutch I bought from ram77mus.
