its not my favorit clutch in the world, its grabby as hell, you have to start out in first every time without reving it and slipping it, backing up trailers is bad since the clutch doesnt slip easily, it holds up great with my estimated 500hp and towing 20k up passes, i like it alot since i couldnt afford a dual disk, it was well worth the $$, it has held up to multiple 3rd gear rear wheel drive 15psi boosted launches

its not bad for shifting, i dont use the clutch half the time it doesnt grab shifting like it does starting out, i have tried mine in secound but like i said it dont like to slip at all, its easyer to start in 1st besides i get mine rolling coal out of every 5 gears rather than just 4

this clutch will be good for racing, to tell ya the truth that is the biggest single disk clutch on the market without stepping into a dual disk, ive raced so many ricers with mine it aint funny, but i have to do a boosted launch because our truck are 5 times heavier than them dinky cars
