May I ask why you think a cent clutch would be better than the CVT? Are you looking for better take off, top speed?
A mid level racing clutch would set you back more than what a properly tuned CVT with performance mods would run. A buddy of mine showed me what they run on their flatty's, and my jaw hit the floor. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice clutch, but it's still a clutch, and still a wear item.
I never got inot the CVT's on our buggies, and opted for an engine swap on my yerf in favor of a gearbox engine, but since I purchased rich1's Dazon, I kinda like the CVT. Had I known what they were capable of, I might have just went all out on the GY6 instead. Then again, maybe not.

I was considering the centrifugal clutch option as way to free up hp, i figured by eliminating the CVT-transmission gears from the equation i could have less hp reduction and free up hp by reducing rotating weight on the crankshaft.
I am not concerned about having reverse, but I would be concerned with tearing up the crankshaft!
Thanks for all the input!
