Thought about the MoTeC M600?... A friend on the board mentioned this unit to me and it's generated a ton of research on my part. Unbelievable that nobody's thought about this yet.

with your clutch decision, make sure you know what your LONG TERM POWER GOALS are, then chose accordingly.

It seems the ATS twin and triple are really good for high torque/hp builds. I will be running the triple soon, I will post my review. Most people say the engagement is pretty close to stock.

I was looking at the RPS and ATS. I think tops would be a nice 500-550 DD. But not tomorrow

Thanks Rudy...

i had the JWT clutch and flywheel. they clutch sucked imo. it ended up breaking and killed my tranny.
now i have an ACT street disk with the heavy duty pressure plate. i love it. but... if i had it to do over again i think i would have gone with an exeddy(sp) clutch.

Sorry to burst your bubble but expect 3xs that, including various fluids and other incidentals. This is from quotes I've received from more than a few tuners.

Now this bursts my bubble! I was hoping the JWT clutch would be a good, streetable clutch for anything around 500whp or lower.

Thats sucks about the JWT. when I was looking some guys have no problems with the setup on FI? Do you think the engine blowing could have helped the failure?

Its hard to try and create your idea of the perfect DD turbo car. Atleast for me. to many options. Which can be good

from what i have heard it would be. however i just had a bad experience and really didnt like the feel of hte clutch. the engagement point was way to low and i like a stiff clutch. the jwt was way to stock feeling.
