Has anyone tried the 6-button EZ Lock Pro? The Centerforce didn't hold. I am going to order this disk and use the cf pressure plate.(less than 1500mi on cf)

Dale, I am running the same disc in my turbo 3.4l DOHC. It is great. With my current boost level (14 psi), the clutch is holding almost 400 lb-ft of torque. I have roughly 10k miles on the clutch with no hints of trouble. You can slip the clutch a bit and I drive it almost every day. I am using a stock pressure plate with it. I do suggest you have your flywheel resurfaced and make sure your pressure plate isn't heat checked or glazed. I think you will be pleased with this clutch.
Thanks for the info. I modified my pressure plate and was just going to put the car back together with the cf dual friction disk---But--- if it starts slipping around 5800rpm again, it will just p..s me off again. I talked to Centerforce and they said they could make a custom disk with the kevlar? pucks on both sides for a 10% gain in grip. I also asked about a pressure plate with the centrifical weights, since I am running the Isuzu trans.(more room inside bell housing) They said this would add about 10% also...That is when I knew I was done with Centerforce. 20% gain in grip and I still want to bottle feed the engine in the neer future.

SPEC clutch- I heard that Tina actually got it to slip in somebody's car.(chester?) I'm just trying to get my car back on the road without breaking the bank. 125.00 shiped to my door for the clutchnet disk. I would rather spend $800-$1000 for the Quartermaster before I waste another $300-$350 on a conventional single disk clutch that "should" hold.

Tripple8....I'd be a little careful with that Isuzu Trans, it's noted for a weak second gear for the power/torque you are running. If you do put in a 'positive' grip clutch such as the QM, then second gear is going to be the fuse!!! Have known this to happen to a couple other people.

I originaly had rubber trans mounts and developed a crack in the case from the driver side axle seal area extending through the webbing and up the side about 6". I installed solid mounts with the new clutch disk.(Praying the crack was caused by the rubber mounts + solid front engine mount allowing the eng\trans to twist instead of rotate fore and aft)
