Holds like glue with my 2017 at about 140hp? Second gear shift it hooks hard with no slip.

Centerforce disc is specified for 120 HP+. I've also used it with 100 HP...works well and you can keep using it later on, if you up the HP even more.

Where is the place to get the Daiken disc. You don't see it in many of the online stores unless it is named something else. I got one years ago at the local VW shop but they have since closed.

Explain.....
I"ve been running a Stage 1 with a Kushlock for 3 years now, works great on the street, holds the power even when racing, looks great when I pulled the motor.

Without.
It's in a split so I don't do hard 1st gear launches or burnouts (unless I'm in the water, then 2nd gear is a good thing!).

In 2004 I installed a new Daikin disc and stage I P/P in my street legal dunebuggy with a 125 HP 2007cc. I have 375 passes down the drag strip and 15,000 street miles on it. Last week at the drags the diaphram on my Kennedy finally gave up and broke. I measured the thickness of the old Daikin disc at .330". I measured a new Daikin disc and it was .360" thick. I reused the old Daikin disc with a used stage I P/P I had and put it back in.
