But either the Tilton or the RPS carbon versions will most likely hold anything you can produce. I'm not up to speed on the Tilton policies, but with RPS, once you buy the original carbon/carbon unit, you'll never pay for replacement parts, ever. All wear surfaces, including the flywheel inserts, the discs and the pressure plate inserts will be replace free of charge. RPS customer service is second to none.

The RPS is an okay clutch. With heavy abuse they fail. The RPS discs are no where near as light as the tilton dics. The tilton shifts crazy good. The tilton is a far better design but it cost more. The RPS is cheap to rebuild, the tilton is not.

If you want the best clutch then you want Tilton.
Tilton makes race clutches not clutches that sound cool so you buy them.
btw a twin disk Tilton clutch lists out at around $4000.

The twin disk carbon is about $3500 and the twin cerametallic is about about $1600 and good for 600ft/lbs. The carbon is good to 800ft/lb, way more then enough to bust ANYTHING in your drive train
I talked to tilton tech a few weeks ago and to rebuild a cerametallic it was about $250 and the carbon was $450. Their tech was VERY HELPFUL and easy to get ahold of. I have a friend running the tilton carbon/carbon twin in a 850 hp 835 tq at the crank Porsche GT-2 track car and so far his clutch has held up all season. He has a TT 3.6 making stupid power (and cost him $91k) and the clutch has held it so, if it can take that it can take our wimpy azz 2.0 L tq.

Do you know what the pedal pressure/feel is with the Tilton c/c for the Evo8? I felt one in an is300 over at Toyomoto and damn near push my foot through the floor because it was so light and could hold 800ft/lbs+.

Thats some hardcore clutch abuse to burn out a C/C that fast.
