After vibration issues with a Centerforce Dual Friction, I went with a McLeod street clutch/disc. Have been very happy with it for years.

I have older street twin McLeod in my car. Took a little to get used to, it is a bit heavier and seems to grab quickly, but I love it. Tech person at McLeod said it would last against my engine combo at the time.

CF dual in my 65.Been in for 15 years.No problems ever and still hooks great.I did run McCleod B&Bs for years.But getting old 3200 pound was hard to use.My CF is light and hooks great.Ran Zoom and it was trash.Rocky CFDF here also. Been in for many years with no issues. Best bang for the buck as far as I'm concerned. I race with it and do a lot of street driving. At my age, I like the light pedal pressure and I also like the fact that it hooks...11" DF is rated at 580 lb/ft, while the CF DFX is rated at 625 lb/ft. The DFX is ceramic and is a touch grabby, but tolerable. In any case make sure you either install a new flywheel or have the one you have now resurfaced. Good luck.

All we install are McLeods.. Tried 1 CF had major issues, tossed it in the dumpster.. R&R a clutch is too labor intense to use marginal parts.. Just my $0.02...

we used the McLeod on the stock car once (360/iron bell/A230 3 sp) & it held up fine. granted it ain't drop the hammer drag race standing starts but it was mostly WOT in the straights & part throttle in the corners. on teardown the disc was burnt but no slippage
