I'm happy with my 10" centreforce 2. Had lots of positive feedback
from the list a couple of years back which is why I chose it. Very
nice feel - easy and smooth - and I track the car and drive it hard
with a similar amount of power. Tried the ford king cobra 10.5" and
it was very stiff and I destroyed it. I used a brass pilot bushing and
centreforce release bearing. All from summit and not expensive. I did
use a new billet steel mcleod flywheel though as having an aluminum
bellhousing I wanted a little more security. Personally I wouldn't
use a stock cast flywheel without a scattershield if you drive the
stones out of it.
Can send part numbers if you need...
