Dave you are totally correct. Both clutches have similar performance characteristics under normal driving conditions but the Centerforce allows for a more aggressive spool up under rapid acceleration. I have also found that the Centerforce coupled to a Bendix slave affords slightly lighter pedal engage and disengage pressure.

One of the "dirty little secrets" of DMC clutches. The Centerforce IS an OEM clutch, the same Valeo (brand) disc, with the same pressure plate painted gold. Centerforce does add the weights that supposedly increase the clamping action, I've had both and can honestly NOT tell the difference in any way, except for price
