The flywheel is, frankly, a beauty. It just cost twice as much as it should have. You can get one just as good for about half the price. The Centerforce "dual friction" clutch does just fine for me, and, it falls in to the category of "better than stock." But remember, my FE, with the pipes and waterpump on it, is under 500 horsepower. So, around these parts, that makes me the "weak sister." It holds quite well, does not chatter on the street, and my Yokohamas break loose well before any real strain gets put on it. I'm sure it's overpriced for what I got. Now, when it's time to replace it all, I will simply call Brent up and say send me a clutch disk, pressure plate, and throwout bearing for my Centerforce flywheel and Tremec TKO that can hold my "less than 500 HP" mill and that won't chatter me up a storm on the street. Whatever he sells me, I bet it will total less than $350.
