Default Tilton flow control valve?

Is it necessary to run the tilton flow control valve? Because Im already running the release bearing kit, and I don't want to juice out another $150-$180 on parts
that I dont really need. Is it worth getting this part or Im fine with the release bearing kit, Is anyone out their just using the releasing bearing kit without using the flow control valve with thier twin disc and have no isssue with thier clutch at
all without using this expensive part. Thanks.

the enguagement is going to be alot smoother and consistant with the valve. reducing shock on the transmission

probably something a human body cannot duplicate over and over and over.

No, it's not necessary. If you think about what they do, they're completely different. The release bearing doesn't do the job of the flow control valve. If you were only going to buy one thing, you should have bought the valve and kept the stock release bearing setup...

in that case, you should have never modified your car, because its "not neccesary"..... do you want to use your setup to its max potential or 75 % ?

Is it necessary? no but will it help? yes. the way i make theses decisions is I ask myself what were people doing before some of these things were available. Im sure the pros's had other ways of making there tranny's last for more than one pass. but like dturbocivic said if your car is built with a $1400 twin disk don't start skimming now.

You could start it up and drive it if that's what you mean.
You could do that with a completely stock clutch as well. Would've saved you $1400.
