stay away from centerforce IMO. have you considered a Mcleod single disc? runs about $450 for PP, disc and T/O bearing.

I paid about $950 for my McLeod single w/ PP, FD, FW and Master Clynder. (from Speed inc.) You should get a Flywheel that is matched to the clutch. Or have your resurfaced and ballanced to match the clutch you buy.

I've heard that the Centerforce clutches have disengaugment issues. The centrifugal weights get 'stuck', and make it difficult to release the clutch. -May also be due to not addressing the master clyinder also, not enough throw.

I have the McLeod single clutch and I love it! It's been in for over 3k miles, w/ some beating on it. I needed the McLeod Master to get it to disengauge fully after the install. It has a nice stock feel to it, besides the heavy pedal. It engauges smooth w/ minimum chatter. It's the Kevlar/Organic disk. If you get a dual Kevlar disk, it will have some more bite to it and possibly a little more chatter.

You won't need the adjustable master cylinder; this is required for the McLeod Twin disk setup.

Not every clutch treats everyone the same. I was going to get the Centerforce, but I heard something about disengagment issues... Good clutch tho? How's it holding up?

Not sure about the LT1's, but mine would not disengage at ALL untill I installed the McLeod Master.
