this issue has been covered but i will offer an answer.
psi and hp isnt really an issue.
its tq.

but if you plan on preloading and generally abusing the drive line, the twin is the way to go. twice the surface area and heat dissipation.

i dont have any exp with the spec mini twin, but installed many super twins on gt500's.

but i do have an exedy twin in my car. requires no pedal stop. i like that clutch. and had great luck with it.

Rockin the exedy here! You sound like your running almost the same setup as me. I have been beating on my exedy twin for almost 2 years now. Joy riding on the streets, driving it to the track, running high 10's, and driving it home and it's still going strong. I'm runnin a darton 84mm gsr. Was on a t3 60-1, but just installed a new mani and gt4088r. Thing should be BADASS!!!

EXEDY FTW, don't need a bump stop!!

I'm not familiar with what you guys are referring to when you say bump stop when using certain clutches

theyre talking about pedal stop. Prevents over engaging on certain clutches by limiting the pedal from how much its depressed.

I guess I don't know how you would "over engage" a clutch. I'm having problems with my comp clutch stage 5 sprung, and wondering if this might be the problem I'm having with it. At high rpm, full load on a turbo car, it acts like it doesn't want to engage and having problems going into gear. On a side note, could it be a flywheel problem?

Over engaging the clutch will cause excessive wear on the clutch pressure plate and on the thrust bearing in the motor if not done properly.

i had the same problem w/competition clutches i tried 2 different 6 puck sprung clutches of theirs and both wouldnt go into gear at high rpm(full throttle shift), i changed to act 4 puck unsprung and no problems. this was on a budget b20vtec. you know choung, talk to him hes had a few customers with the same promlem.

I was one of the ones that brought this problem to his attention. My clutch is a stage five 4 puck, and was perfect in my car. I transfered it over to a friends car and it's been nothing but problems in that car. Just wondering if this clutch stop would help alleviate the problem. Also what would be the difference from his car to mine.
