I have about 200 or so miles on the new FP DBB Red, at this point im really happy with it, a great happy medium between the Black and Green, im seeing 200ish diff in spool at worst and 50ish hp of the Green. Oh but wait im just on pump gas IF the weather breaks I will drive it to Buschurs to see how it goes, but as of right now the cars the fastest it's ever been, even without E85.

Crappy 325/45/17 Kuhmo XS's, only made one pass that day, very easy 5500 rpm launch.

Curt: Are you saying that the BB Red is spooling up only 200 RPM slower than the BB HTA Green and producing 50 ponies more? Have you dynoed, or VD'ed it yet? Or, is this just with the Butt Dyno?

The ACT is rated at being able to handle a max of 508ftlbs torque which will be sufficient for now.
It would be easier for me to go with a FP Red BB because it would be a straght swap (oil feed pipe etc) but still weighing up the options. Remember my car is a 2.2L so the 0.2 increase in displacement will help spool up too.

I deliberately chose this clutch over a twin plate because I want my car to feel as quiet and as close to stock as possible. My other option was a Twin Plate but I didn't like the noise they can produce and I want to be happy using my car as a daily driver in traffic if I have too.
