Tilton clutches
I called Tilton Engineering and found that they are due to release twin plates clutches for the EVO by the 1st of August. Tilton is a world leader in racing clutches and the first manufacture to develop and patent a carbon/carbon clutch. Tilton will be offering three twin plate clutch package for the EVO; a carbon/carbon clutch, cerametallic clutch and hybrid clutch (one cerametallic disc and one organic disc). Clutch package will include a billet steel flywheel, twin plate clutch and a concentric hydraulic release bearing (replacing the stock slave cylinder and related linkage). Beside producing some of the best racing clutches available, many 800+ HP Supras are using their carbon clutch with great sucess. Tilton hasn't formally released the clutches, but you can see the products they produce at www.tiltonracing.com.

Smooth, quiet, and Grabby. And no clutch even comes close to the shiftability, having the lightest discs on the market.
Expensive but worth it.

He does have the carbon/carbon. It is very noisy. Works perfect though and shifts awesome.
However his is basically not the Tilton full setup as that won't be released for about 1.5 months. We already have a few on order Price will be $3795 for the carbon/carbon and it comes with hydraulic release bearing. As said above though there will be a few versions ranging from $1699 to the carbon version. Tilton will have a official press release about it later this week.

I just did a bunch of looking around for the clutch you are mentioning, and was considering emailing Tilton, but you beat me to the punch. I was thinking about the 56-354, which is the hybrid cerametallic/organic in a twin-plate clutch which has 500 ft-lb holding capacity.
Edit:
This will get you right to the Evo clutches:

Once your clutch budget hits around 12% of the purchase price of your car, there are a lot of options out there, Alcon and Helix to name a couple more.

For those of you with a Tilton, did you have to fabricate a clutch-stop? I noticed that there is a lot of mention that the clutch pedal has to be setup in order to not over-stroke the diaphragm spring, and my guess is that our clutch pedal has too much travel to avoid having to do this.
