What clutch are you using?

Hi guys,

For those who are FI'd Im just wondering what clutch you guys are using. I did try to search and nothing really came up in recent times... I have ACT right now but considering a change and want to see what is out there...

First what are your power goals and how will the car be driven? Is this going to be a weekend 400 horse power car or a700 daily? Or vise versa?

Carbonetics tripple disk.

I tried a Clutchmaster's twin disk, but fried it the first time I launched hard at around 550 whp. The clutchmasters held strong, even when I stepped it up to 600 whp. My new motor should be a little more stout, so we'll see how well it holds 700-750 whp.

THIS! ^

Haha. My clutch is holding up great... Its just that transitioning from heels to sneakers in the car before business meetings is a pain... Cause the ACT for some reason (been pretty gentle on other cars Ive had) is very not traffic friendly!

Yes I likely dont drive in traffic like most of you guys because i live in a very small town, but it drives really nice and you can slip it a bit. It is made by Exedy it seemed similar to the Exedy GTM twin plate I drove.
