Default Re: 8BA Centerforce clutch

Don’t overthink it guys
I have the same 10” in a warm 410” 396 in my ’69 Camaro. Been used very hard at times (7 grand shifts) in the last 20 years.
Same 10” behind the 8BA. No problems in either one. Nice and mellow, easy on old knees
Put it in and drive it like you stole it

Much like Gene, I use my clutch HARD. Recently at TROG, I was starting out in 2nd. Rev'd the engine to about 3.5-4K and side stepped the clutch. This was in sand, but still no slipping or ill effects. Worked great.
