Not sure of the advantages, I have used Centerforce on all my race cars and
the Pantera 5 years ago, performs well, no issues this far.

     It's a dual disk McLeod that was rebuilt by them.
     I have a 'racing' version in the race car.
     I also have a backup street version and another race version.
     The race version is certainly more 'digital'. It's engaged or it is
     not. The
     street version has a band that ties the two plates together so they
     don't
     rattle.
     That's what you see in the picture.

     Although,
     yours is an updated version taking the build to a higher lever. I
     would like
     to see you include pics of the sexy clutch pressure plate
     arrangement that
     you are running as well.
