The XT pressure plates are designed to withstand 386ft-lbs torque... the HD pressure plates 286ft-lbs torque.

Change the disc. Organic will not last. Slip it a couple times and it will fry get hard and disentergrate.

IMO, organic is not for racing.

Oh, BTW i can get you a metallic six puck that will work perfectly for you and it will still be smooth enough to engage without chattering.

You can have your cake and eat it too. (The cake will be a little more edgy though)

Six Puck Metallic and throw out bearing will be $145 shipped to TX USPS 2 day.

Makes sense, turbo applications can be brutal on clutches, especially when big tires or slicks are involved.
