clutch begone
Well I have put something like 25thousand of the hardest miles on my cerametalic clutch and its finally given up the ghost. . . boosting in 5th gear is a joke. . . it just won't hold at all. So with that I'm on the hunt for a new one. Is there a good single disk anybody has experience with that drives nice and holds good power? Those with double disks. . . It would be nice to feel good about a couple of pulls but I want some nice driveability still. What do you all think?

If I remember correctly, Kevin (mech2161) has reported that his double disk is pretty streetable.
I've been itching to try the Zoom ceramic ZVT, but until the Luk gives it up I can't justify it.

I have also heard that the lighter duty double disks are alot more streetable than a 500+ HP single disk (ceramic). Ceramic tends to "woop woop woop" (as best as i can put it) and stutter when letting out the clutch gradually from a stop. Holds really well though/

Yes thats one complaint i've had about my cerametalic clutch. . . its very grabby. I would like something with more of a stock feel. . . but can not only handle the power and pulling a race trailor. . . . but I want the ability to pull a few times if i feel like it. So I'm thinking the only thing that might do that is a double. . . any recommendations? I don't know exactly how much power I'm putting out. . . but I know I'm right at the limit of its abilities.

I pulled the compounds off to fit the terminator HPOP's in. I could redesign it but there are a few problems with that. . . number one is the sound that I love so much can only be heard single turbo. . . two. . . if I'm going to build a compound setup again. . . I'll be the next one after Jeremy to post about a widowed block. I'll save the compounds for an all out race truck.
