Competition Twin Disc Clutch
I am looking at clutch’s again and now I am leaning towards a twin disc. I could not stand the Iron Man and Ceramic both of which were terrible for what I want to use the car for. I have been using the ACT HD PP and OEM clutch disc which has yielded excellent performance up to about 360FTLB's to the wheels.
I hear great things about the Carbonetic but decided the change from push pull was a bit more than I would like to do. Then looked at the SOS and that would be a great choice but the price is a bit steep. Next is the Exedy which I know little about but can't ever remember hearing anthing good. Finally the Competition twin disc, this unit I am interested in now but I am having trouble finding any feedback on it.
1.) How is the engagement of the clutch vs Stock?
2.) How loud is it?
3.) Have you had any issues with the clutch?
4.) Did the clutch come with the required lines and internal slave cylinder?

Awesome clutch IMO. Engagement is butter like stock, only chatters a bit when clutch is engaged, etc, isnt too terribly loud, but isnt as quiet as stock by far, no trouble holding at upwards of 500 wtq, comes with everything needed for the conversion and is fairly simple to install; also comes with pictures. It's a great clutch with a great price tag. Call LJ at FB and he will get you a great deal.

I have no complaints about my comp twin disc. Very easy to drive. A little louder than stock but that is to be expected. Engagement is very smooth. I have no problems driving on the street at anytime, i could daily drive with this clutch if i wanted to.

Thanks for all the info!!!
The more I thought about it the more that I came to the conclusion that the single disc was the way to go for me. Though the car can make more power than the clutch can hold it also acts as a buffer for the trans and rear end. In my past builds I found that the clutch slipped rather than delivering a major torque spike, bad for racing but great for someone that primarily drives on the street. I am not sure if I have heard of too many people with ordinary street clutches (Non Puck) that have broken their trans or rear end at the frequency of others with stouter clutches. Obviously this could be attributed the power, driver.... but in my mind the theory is sound.

I feel your plight. If I crank up the power my clutch will become suspect.
I read that someone on here used a twin disk that was rather cheap to buy. I'll try to find the thread.

The one thing that may be of help is the reduced rotating mass/inertia, I can see that helping shock when rowing through the gears.
I guess I need to do some more home work on this one.
