by the way forgot to mention something about the ORC. There is a signature sound that ORC has =) People who know it will know you have an ORC in there. It makes a "Ching" sound when you start it accompanied with a higher pitched ignition =)

^^Hey Cloud, is the break in period for your clutch almost finished? Has the grabiness gotten any better from a roll? Can you give an updated review of your experience and feelings about the 409dbs?

btw, just curious what you voted for in the poll?

grabiness has gotten better, haven't had shudder for a longgg time =), as long as you know where the engagement point is, you'll be fine.

So would you still copnsidert the orc 409 to be a "***** out" racing clutch setup, or not that you have gotten used to it--can you consider the setup streetable? How is it in heavy traffic?

It's still streetable, but I haven't had the chance to fix my clutch hydraulic issues. Could be better.

Can anyone guess at whether which integrated clutch/flywheel in the poll would be the quieter of the 2? (I'm asumming the 409--since it has a "silent option" and is a single clutch setup--However, the sprung hubs on the str look pretty decent and I think the flywheels may be heavier on the str. Can anyone comment?

Not sure but I think there is a sound associated with deceleration with twin plates. It's a sound only multiplate clutches have.
