Default Valair clutch

Has anyone used the 13" valair ceramic clutch before? Says its rated for 800 ft lbs of torque I have 70hp injectors now and will be running delivery valves and 3k springs and water/meth injection. I just wander if it's a decent clutch

It is a strong clutch but is very grabby. I had one my 01 6spd. I'd go with a Kevlar/Ceramic. The Kevlar will help it be smoother

What about phenix friction clutches are they decent? I don't want to pay a crap load of money on a clutch that I don't have the money for but I want something decent over stock

What about the hays super truck clutches they look pretty affordable
