i would go with the OS Quad. The OS clutches seem are very friendly other than getting the car moving in first gear. It just gets some getting use to and a lot of practice. once you get it going its heaven.

it's high on my twin. well, it WAS high. I adjusted the pedal height down quite a bit.

compared to the clutch that i had in it previous, it is high. It was hard getting used to that high because i would ease out the clutch some, then some more, then some more, and finally it woudl snag. Seemed like i had a 3 foot of clutch movement. moved the pedal down, much much better.

I'm pretty sure the Carbonetic Triple is more expensive than that.

Nice clutch!

Mike, after you get a chance to drive with it, give is a quick review of how it drives in comparison to the Carbonetics.

hi on a serious note... I know you mentioned before that you were only going to push 800whp on sharifs dyno because of concerns about the prpevious clutch. Now that you are upgrading to something a little more stout will you be shooting for a higher DD number?
