I would like to know that too as I'm picking up the super heavy duty 1600 from him next week.

 My marlin 1200lb requires only mild pedal pressure, feels like stock. Now I kinda wish I'd gotten the 1600lb. oh well lol!

I have the Marlin 1600 in my 4runner. Both my 4Runner and my 92 extra cab have had Centerforce clutches, so thats about all I've driven in the last 5 years. I had come to really love my Centerforce Dual friction. It was actually still good, but I had already ordered a new clutch because I had tranny/tcase issues and thought my clutch was bad. It is now a trail spare. Anyway it feels more or less like a stock clutch to me (after the CF), its fine driving it on the street. So far I like it a lot, though honestly when it goes I am going to get another Dual Friction for the 4runner. I think the Marlin clutch kits are definitely all they are made out to be. For me, I would only ever put another Centerforce or a Marlin clutch in my vehicles. Since the 92 is my gfs DD, I don't think I need another CF in it, so when its time, the 92 is getting a Marlin 1600.

The 1600lb clutch has been amazing ever since I installed it. Its got a little under 3k on it. Its been even better on the trail, and I have not noticed much of a difference in the clutch pedal. My wife didn't mention anything about it when she drove it either.

I installed the  SHD 1600 lb and really like it, has nice pedal pressure, it ended the mushy pedal syndrome

I have the HD Marlin clutch in my truck and have DD it for 4 years and tons of wheeling on it.  The pedal pressure is stronger than a stock clutch but grabs hard when you want it to.  I would get another one in a heartbeat.
