Well my friend Matt went through a clutchmaster and 3 in a row king cobra clutches with his mustang all withing about a year and a half. He then tried centerforce, and has been using it for probably around 8 months with upwards of 350hp. He's also a full time mechanic for the last 9 years and knows his shiznit, so he'll only ever praise centerforce over all now.
But I've never put in a new clutch on my own stuff yet, nor can I tell you why they're good, that's just a quick note from a friends personal experience. |

no personal experience but i've heard nothing but bad things about clutchmasters. i always hear about them going out in no time. but then...i've heard nothing but good things about ACT.

Im using an ACT stage 3 clutch (super street organic disk and Heavy duty pressure plate) I highly recomend ACT. Im running about 180hp at the wheels and 212hp at the flywheel with nitrous. Ive droped this clutch at the line at 6500+ many of times with slicks and never has let me down one bit. It chatters sometimes when sliping into 2nd when downshifting but thats because it either wants to engage or not. Best clutch Ive ever ran.

ACT! I've been abusing the shit out of my HDPP and sux puck disk for almost 3 years and it still comes back time after time for more. I am not pushing as much power but with the way I have treated it alot of others will quit. I have taught three people how to drive a manual on it and still there. Just make sure to follow the break-in steps religiously.

I have used ACT and clutchmasters clutches and then I tried Competition clutch and really like them the best. I thought ACT was crap compared to the clutchmasters(both stage 3)and then comp clutch came around and Ill use nothing else,no break in and the carbotic material used is oil resistant.I wears nice and I am impressed. I use diaken in my 240sx and its a descent clutch.

I would say ACT.... I have had mine in my car for the past 4 yrs and its still grabs until this day..... I have put a shit load of miles of on that clutch racing miles, burnouts, and traffic miles stop and go rush hours on it and it works..... I have had friends use others and do the same and they have burned them out...... thats my choice.
