Default competition twin disc...

alright i am wondering about the competition twin disc clutch. First of all is it really that hard to drive on the streets with? I mean whats the different as far as driveability from a 6 puck or 4 puck to a twin disc. Also my gsr should be making around 450-500 whp. was wondering if its reasonable.

also was wondering about the noise it makes when the clutch is engaged. Does that go away after it is broken in or will it be like that constantly.

hopefully someone can answear some of my questions. Mind you im not a small person either. i weigh 205 so i dont mind pushing in a stiff clutch.

id go with a stage 5. unless you have the cash for a twin disc and really want it.

i have the competition twin disc... the noise is the discs chattering when its disengaged, its normal. it doesnt go away. mine doesnt chatter very much... also its not very hard to drive on the street IMO. but i only drive my car once or twice every other weekend, or at the track.

Do you plan to make more then the power you told us? if you plan to make 600+whp I would say go with the twin disc. If you just want to stay at 450-500whp deff go with a comp stage 5 clutch with a upgraded pressure plate.

I drive may car everyday with a CC twin disk and its not bad at all. You just have to get use to it, just like anything else. I will say this, after driving my car with a twin disk I will never go back to a single disk clutch.

Im actually thinking of going with a twin disk myself. I dont mind the harsh engagement or anything related to that but to those of you who are running a twin cc on your dd have you had any issues with the clutch disks wearing out early/prematurely?

what i mean is if i put a twin in my dd(which will see stop and go traffic for instance), being a clutch that is made for race use is it something that im going to have to service every year or so?

is that something you do just to be on the safe side as a service interval or is it a noticable difference in the way the clutch feels?

The redesign definately seems to be helpng, I woldnt call it a FIX yet as I didnt get many miles on my car this year... But Ive had them fail quicker in the past as well.

The material AND the design are entirely different than the older ones. runsfromdacops and i got a couple of the very first ones. Hes making just shy of 600 im making 750.
