There are two different triple clutches offered by Tilton. The first is the triple ceramatallic. This is the clutch that Hal and Mike both use in their car. Hal has put a tremendous amount of street miles on his clutch and it still is in terrific shape. Unfortunately I haven't driven it yet, but have ridden in it for probably a good 200 mile trip and it was very streetable. Note: He started beating on the clutch immediately with little to no break in. Something Carbonetics says you need to put approximately 5k miles on before it will hold the power. We found the limits on the Carbonetics triple carbon at around 800rwhp with (I think) just over 3k miles.
The second Tilton triple is the more expensive carbon. We have one here that we are going to be testing out on a special car. This is the clutch that 100% of Supra owners run. I have not heard of one Supra owner running the previous clutch.
IMHO, as much as I would like to sell the Triple carbon, for 99% of the people here it isn't needed. You can get away with running the ceramatalic with no issues and save $2k.

yeah... i actually gave Chris(OP) my tripple carbonetics while he waited from tilton to send his rebuild clutch(original wasnt installed properly by previous shop)...and it was during then that i found out the short-comings of the carbonetics for the powergoals i had. THe tilton clutch i'll use, as hal said, is the one big power supras use..... thats what Saad had in this 1500whp supra.
having said that, i think the clutch SP is currently using deserves quite a bit of praise for holding the powerleves it has and being "cost efficient" compared to alternatives.
