Opinions please!!!

ok let me clarify opinions... please give me your input on these two clutchs and not the other 10 that are out there... I currently have a exedy triple disk in the car. well this will be the second time that the car will of had the tranny pulled and the second input shaft that has been fried... i have been told to go with an exedy twin disk and i have had no experience with this clutch. I love the way the triple drives but there is no slipping the triple disk... it is near impossible and i cant afford a 1000 bill every year from a clutch being to harsh. The car currently dyno's at 373 hp and 323 trq. Next year the car will be making twice that so my question is will the twin be enough to handle the 550-600hp and 500 trq? also how is the driveability/reliablity of the twin? Does it slip to much and over heat or wear out prematurely? please let me know your thoughts and experiences. Also let me know if this is just a case of bad launching......

I've got a buddy in TN (Clarksville) running over 500 whp with the exedy twin and he loves it. PM me if you have any questions and I can send you his number at the shop. I have one in my car also but am not making any where near that much power. I love it. I have no personal knowledge or experience with the triple disc.

i know this thread is kinda old but i couldnt resist... the twin disk is aaammmaaaaziing!!! I got it for good deal at 1500 and it grabs like no other! launching will always burn up your clutch and ruin your trans no matter what, which is why I dont launch my car very often because thats how my stock clutch went! I think your triple disk grabs too much which is why you keep breaking things
