Save your breath -- Blykins has been anti-Centerforce for as long as I can remember. I think it stems from the fact that Centerforce is overpriced, has those gimicky little weights that we all remove, and he has probably had more than a few phone calls because they have broken on really big mills. I have a Centerforce DF clutch on the Centerforce aluminum flywheel and it's fine for me (under 500HP at the flywheel). It doesn't chatter, it doesn't have too much pressure at the pedal, and I got a cool sticker with it.
I have absolutely no doubt that I could have gotten the same performance for less dough, but, WTF (the flywheel was particularly expensive). I tested its hold just last week and my test is a simple test -- I just accelerate from a roll and keep giving throttle until the tires break loose while trying to feel any clutch slippage before the tires go. I don't know any other way to test it, and that test has worked well for over 30 years. I have 295/50 Yoko Avids; they're alright, but certainly not drag slicks. When the CF does go, I'll just ask Blykins for something that bolts right up as the CF did and I'll put in whatever he sells me.
