tilton's twin disk is one of the top clutches for the $erious people making the BIG power numbers.

how much is you budget?

The tilton wont be that street driveable. It's a pain in the butt especially when it gets hot. It's ultra "gripey" so driving in traffic is a nightmare.

If you plan to drive on the street, stick with ACT or ClutchMaster

The Action 2 MD is a really good clutch. I am not sure what the whp or torque specs are but I know it will hold a decent amount of power.

A 500 WHP H22 is going to take a stronger clutch than a 600 WHP B16 will. It's about torque, not horsepower.

what stage would you prefer for this kind of power? stage 5 has a shorter lifespan or is a dual disc clutch the only thing for this kind of power?

Thanks

You are right the stage 5's wont last too long. I had 2 of them go within 1 year of normal driving.

Try ACT Extreme 6 puck

or

CM twin disc. I never used it before but I have heard great things about it.

get the extreme pressure plate and six puck disk. i used the heavy duty pressure plate, and i think when you're boosting hard, it tends to heat up and not bite as well

as far as the clutch not being daily driven friendly, uhhhh i think it is and alot of my customers feel the same way. pedal pressure isnt bad at all and yes when the clutch gets hot its a little more touchy to drive but nothing that i would say to make it not useable on the street. i love the tilton twin disk and i will continue to us mine everyday. ohhh yeah i beat the **** out of my car and have yet to have a problem with it......Miller
