Default Clutch reccomendations for 550-600whp?

Not sure on what clutch to go with. The car isnt a daily driver but will be used on the street 95% of the time. Clutchnet? ACT? Action? Clutchmasters?

Listen to these guys.. Tilton is the freaking best clutch out there right now and it will last you a good amount of time. It's too bad it's over 1 grand for it.

The CM twin disc is kindda shakey. It wont last you very long as a everyday driver.

Another twin disc coming out now is the Competition Clutch by Chris Jewel who was from Clutchmasters, I heard he designed their clutches but can't CONFIRM that. Worth it to check them out. i see NOPI now has CC is their product line.

Hold a sec... you guys are saying Tilton Metal to metal twin disc last a life time?? I think that statement should be tossed at Tilton carbon to carbon multi disc.
If this don't get clearified, alot of people will end up buying Tilton Metal to metal twin disc thinking he or she is buying the last clutch ever. From what I was told, Tilton Metal to metal twin disc wears just as much as CM metal twins but has a better quailty.
It's the Tiltion carbon to carbon multi disc with different thickness of back plates that can be switched in and out to accomodate for wears. At the end, if running out of plates, you just buy a rebuild kit.

if the tilton is reparable id get that, the savings on a daily driver would definately be worth it.

terry: any specs on that clutch? im interested. sure beats rptc.

I drove around a car we recently built with the CM Twin Disk; It's definately soft in terms of pedal feel, but a little interesting to adjust to in engagement in comparision to the CM stg.5 I'm used to. I'm planning on going with this clutch, as I have seen it work very well in 500-600whp setups, but if I come across the extra cash for a carbon on carbon Tilton, I'm sold. We recently got one in for our friend's Porsche - I played with it for an hour. It was gorgeous!!

I just recently installed my CM twin disc metal. Compare to CM stage 4 which lasted less than 10 passes is much stiffer. The weirdest part is the pedal travel. I step in around 60% and it's fully engaged. I felt if I step over the 60% travel, I might damage the fingers or some other components. I havn't adjusted the pedal stop nut or modify the slave cylinder.
Carbon on carbon is way out of my budget for this hobby.

I just received my Tilton 7.25" Ceremetallic clutch. I talked to quite a few people on and off this board, and the name Tilton kept popping up, so I bit the bullet and got one.

I don't know if Chris Jewell actually engineered Clutch Masters' Clutches; I know that he was up there in terms of rank. The new guy that took his place is Mike _______ .

I'll post pics of the Tilton later on this week. BTW, it's going on a 1993 Integra LS Cable Tranny.

ACT 4 Puck w Extreme PP- that clutch lasted me 6 days and 7 passes.

I'm saving for the Tilton now.

Ram clutch...I contacted those guys 3 times, with no response. Guess they are making too much money.

Go with the Tilton. I'm glad I did more research before I chose a clutch for my street car. The Titlon is proven.

So what are we talking for this Tilton clutch. Earlier in the topic it said about a grand? How long are people getting out of this clutch. I plan on having an 500whp hatch, and am doing some research.
